Quote:My hat's off to you guys. I think I finally got the rifle and palm rest and all that sorted, and I got the windage adjusted properly, and elevation pretty darned close, shooting from a bench rest. Even from a bench at 100 yards I'm still getting 3 shot 1 ½ inch groups, which isn't bad I don't suppose, but it could always be better. That and I need to be able to shoot at 200 yards.
I still have to get some practice targets from ASSRA.
Now all I really lack is technique! I'm as wobbly as a sailor on liberty on a Friday night in Hong Kong!
I never was a great offhand shot, but this is going to take a whole lot of practice. Any tips or pointers you wish to share will be welcome.
Arrange yourself sideways-on.
Rest your elbow in the top of your pelvis and balance the rifle on two or three fingers.
When you are comfortable, exhale, hold your breath and
squeeze one off.
Long time since I did it, but I used to knock rabbits over (headshots) at 100 yards, offhand (·22"LR). On the range we used to pick-off spent ·22" cases, offhand, at 25 yards.
The trick is,
breathig (or rather, not breathing...)
