That's what is so great about a democratie, we are all free to do as we wish?

Myself, I've learned a long time ago that emulating the top guy can't be a bad thing ;-)

Cheers,

I would "seriously" consider the mahogany version instead of the maple one

Really???, you need to learn what works for you not what works for him or her. And which 'top guy' do you emulate, they all shoot slightly differently ?

The key is to learn what they do and why they do it and apply the good bits that could apply to you to your shooting.

Kinda a silly add in, but as a JR coach, I agree on the MTM box.
Especially on outdoor targets where I swear the kids lose the ability to count.
("Shoot on that target until that row is empty..., then go to the next target until this row is empty.....")
Also them tiny ammo boxes tend to roll over and capsize a bit more often with kids.

(I can also make them up a simple 3x5 card that fits in the lid with HUGE numbers to remind them of the target # they should be firing on. yes, even with 8 foot wide lanes)

Ever notice how many JR coaches have grey hair? Love them kids, but ya gotta shake your head sometimes.....

I agree with you that we each must find what works for us. But when the majority of the top guys do something in a certain way, there has to be a good reason.

I'm a newbie to rifle shooting but have lots of competitive archery under my belt. We all start with the cookie cutter approach and once we reach a certain level we start to modify the cookie to fit us. I've also discovered that being a Maverick and try to come up with different methods just to be different is a waste of time.

Cheers,
