Great episode. Period.
People do not talk enough about sight picture when using optics, and often times, when asked, can't call their shot. It's good to see this topic (sight picture as well as the practice of a shooter being able to call their shot), since many do not even realize they are not doing it. As I tell new shooters, when the shot breaks, you should be able to see (in your mind) a still photo of where the cross hairs were. That shot breaking, should actuate your brain just like a camera's mechanical aperture, and you should be able to see where the cross hairs were when the shot broke, just like looking at a still image in your mind's eye. If you can't do that, you're probably not looking at the sight, and are probably looking at/chasing the target.
