[QUOTE="D$tring, post: 2023153, member: 114263"] You are starting on a fun and expensive journey. But also one that is very rewarding. Find a good mentor to help you with shooting technique; (attend classes or shoot some competitions) we have some clubs in my area full of people that know a lot more than I do. Spend time on this forum; there are so many knowledgeable people that have taught me so much; I read everything I could but never posted for years. Also, once you progress and want to shoot consistently at 800 or a 1000, you will find that you need to hand load—the random flier will begin to drive you crazy. Find someone that can mentor and teach you. The precision and control it will provide you is second to none, and there is nothing like a flier free 1/2 moa shot string at 1000 to give you confidence. A 5 inch group at 200-300 is what I used to settle for and used to think that it was crazy talk to shoot past 400. Now I try my hardest to get a 3-4 inch group at 1000-1200, and am always finding ways to stretch the limits and tighten the groups. Better/custom rifles, better glass, different powder/bullets etc. etc. and constant practice. [/QUOTE]
