Re: Service rifle competition suggestions
Non withstanding all the various forms of AR's out there, do you have an idea about all the other "stuff" you will need to get the job done? Jacket, glove, sling, score book, single load mag, tuned magazines so your POI will be the same? Oh, spotting scope, stand, cart, stool etc.....
I started out in Highpower back in 1988 with an older NM M1A and w/o the cost of the rifle I was well over $10K by the next season (ammo included and I rolled my own). I did end up w/ some killer gear though
it was also good to be single and an E-5
When you get your stick.......
Go to a match and talk w/ folks, unless you have a mentor already, in which case verify what he says.
In HP, position is everything. It builds accuracy and repeatability. PRACTICE!!!!!
Dry fire
Dry fire
DRY FIRE!!!!
Full gear, stand up, sit down, kneel, pray.
TAKE NOTES!!!!! on and off the range.
Notes about conditions,
notes about your position,
notes about your sling position,
notes about your POA vs POI in various positions
Shoot mags from the bench, some will have different POI depending on the load up.
Air rifles are wonderful for "Awfulhand" practice.
Hope that helps some.
Cheers,
Doc
