[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1519961, member: 8622"] Great suggestions here already! Do a lot of shooting with that 22, it's accurate, inexpensive, perfect for marksmanship practice! Use at least one of your other center-fire rifles every session too. And YES, shoot from various shooting positions: prone, sitting, kneeling, standing, off your hunting pack, with and without a bipod or shooting sticks... All of that with the 22 rimfire and your centerfires as well. And when you can, get to a range where longer shots are possible. After my initial sight-in, or perhaps testing of a new load, I do very little shooting from a bench. As hunting season approaches, I do more and more shooting from offhand/standing. Why? Because it's my weakest position. Prone is stable as all get out. Sitting can be almost as stable, with a little work. Kneeling is pretty tough on me, and standing... That's just wobble city! :) Well it is until I work at it a bit. This photo is of me practicing on a steel gong at 300 yards, with my general-purpose 30-06 Rem 700. I've taken some game from standing, and with this rifle. I practice the most from standing because it's my worst position. [img]https://i.imgur.com/NEbsdeal.jpg[/img] Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
