Perhaps a superfluous thought but maybe not. Growing up next door to Frank Snow who built Sierra bullets I recall discussions amongst him and his benchrest buddies. Essentially that everybody usually shoots better synched to a person’s circadian or body clock. The jest was that some shooters do their best work early in the day others later.

Now I understand climatic, vision, ambient light or health plays a critical part to this but the point is most people have a time of the day when they are sharpest. Myself I do my best late in the day and when it comes to reading and writing very late and usually very early dark mornings. But I know many who are sharpest soon after day break. 

When I competed in Bullseye (Master rank) I always scored highest the later in the day the better. So just curious to see how you guys in the Schuetzen game that demands stance stability, quick trigger reaction time, and critical sight acquisition prefer. Just curious.
