[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3026967, member: 127412"] Define perfect practice. I’d rather shoot my hunting rig in less than ideal shooting positions and conditions to manage the weapon when needed for most situations likely to occur in the field. And…shoot it a lot! Unless it’s your first time firing a rifle and you absolutely don’t know how to shoulder a rifle, I think proper initial setup of the rifle and lots of reps will get most folks where they need to be. My job gobbled up about 10 years of my life where reloading and shooting took a back seat. Eventually I noticed I wasn’t as good as I once was (RIP Toby). This last summer I decided that was enough of that and I buckled down and spent a ton of time behind my magnums. Boy, did that make a difference. Knocked the rust off and I gained new skills as I started challenging myself in new ways. Granted I spent some money on one rifle to get it where I wanted. Bought a new scope, stock, threaded the barrel, and installed a brake. Turned a thumping 300 WSM into a very manageable rifle. I harvested a nice whitetail and elk this year as a result. My confidence was there after slinging lead…and copper all summer. [/QUOTE]
