Bart I know you are talking about imprinting however i have another concept for you to think about. I used to take quite some time to fire a shot and i tried to just speed up the process but then the result was generally poor. What we found was that when i was coming on to the target i would breath ...

Here is a copy of an average SCATT trace it goes green, yellow for start of last second before shot and blue for last tenth of a second before shot then red for follow through. I have tried several variations however there is still more horizontal movement than vertical. Could sideways pressure on t...

I should clarify that it is the length of the trace i was talking about not the group size. I do use a USB SCATT and the group looks to be mostly in the 10 ring except for the pulsing which goes out to 10 oclock. I would assume that the areas that Bart mentioned above are still the areas to be looki...

Horizontal movement in prone

I would like to know peoples thoughts on how to minimise sideways movement in the prone position. The SCATT shows that i have 20mm vertical movement and 40mm horizontal movement live fire puts the groups into a horizontal type spread. I know in the past when i have been scoring consistently higher t...

If you really want the pain to go away then you will most likely have to change something to achieve this. There are numerous handstops and sling positions that you could experiment with but if it was me i would go back further than that to see if i could take some pressure out. My thoughts would be...

I shot on this range in February and it was not complete then. However all the shooting ranges functioned very well. The outside was still in the process of being paved with bricks and it looked like a building site but i am sure they will have it ready to go.

Thanks for the responses so far. I did some training over the last few days and have pretty much concluded that it doesnt fit. Looking at the pistol grip sizing charts on the net that say the size of the pistol grip relates to the measurement across your palm puts me at the top end of medium and the...

How important is the pistol grip fit in prone rifle?

Does anyone have any advice on the fit of the pistol grip in 50m prone rifle? How do you tell if it is right and if it is not right what are the best methods to add more or take material away to suit the fit?
