[QUOTE="stirner, post: 1551953, member: 44287"] You never did say if it is always the 4th and 5th shots that fly. If it is, you may have the same problem that I encounter too frequently. You get 3 or 4 shots in a nice tight group, then start thinking about the group, instead of thinking about shooting the next shot. You don't hold the gun with the same shoulder pressure, maybe it's canted a little, or you're not on the bags in the same place, the crosshairs didn't line up on the bull so you force the rear bag sideways and keep the pressure on the bag, or you're not paying attention to your breathing. All you can see in the scope is that tight little group and that is where your mind is focused. It's the attention to detail, and consistency in your routine. It's the reason that the guy at the carnival can hand you the mallet and challenge you to hit the gong 3 times in a row. He knows that after you hit the gong twice, you will lose your concentraton just enough to come up short on the last try. [/QUOTE]
