[QUOTE="TxHeartShot, post: 2280984, member: 86119"] Working at the range recently and everyone is bringing out their rifles for the "once a year" sighting in and throwing a few downrange...then they think they're good to go. Heavier and faster are causing less practice IMO and most shooters can't handle sustained repeated recoil to get very proficient. So far one guy shot his 338 RUM once, said good and sacked it up. Pretty sure he didn't hit paper at 100 yds and his flinch was visible from 20 feet away. We have a policy before you can shoot at the 600 or 1000 yard bench you have to prove yourself at the 300 yard bench. Only about 1 in 8 of these sharpshooters make it and the rest blame the gun/scope, wind, mirage, anything but their own skill most of the time. Oh well, hunting season is upon us and I'll be guiding some knuckleheads like every year, but there will be a few, especially kids, who are there for the love of hunting and shooting and really want to be excellent.
