At my club range on Sunday, first shoot since Christmas.
Everything shuts down over this period from just before Christmas and into the new year as its the summer holidays in NZ.
It was a boiling hot day and after slathering all exposed skin with 30+ SPF sun lotion as with only a thin Ozone layer screen over NZ you can burn within fifteen minutes if in the sun.
All set to try the tips for reducing my groups into the minute of angle.
During the week before I had tried dry firing with the scope cranked up to 32 power and found that a lot of the trouble was the way I was holding the rifle.
I now just lightly hold the top of the wood where it joins the action with my thumb and also very lightly with my fingers the lever just to get some purchase for my trigger finger.
During last week I had also had a look at the Double Gun forum and came across a post from the Late Michael Petrove regarding shooting a 22R/F from a rest.
It works, got my groups down to one inch at 100 metres with the silencer on and using RWS Rifle match.
Have a look at the link as I think you will find it interesting.
I think the reference to the 22R/F is on or around page three of the post.
