This is the shot that gives me the most pleasure and usually improves my mood immensely. I don't like to call it "heeling," to me a 1 o'clock shot is the result of unlocking the wrist, but that is semantics. It happens to me once every couple of months. In fact the last time was this past week during our league shooting. I called it, however, pretty well, the 1 o'clock part was bad enough to be a 7, but I knew I "corrected" it with a jerk and was expecting it to be back into the 9 ring. Admittedly, I could not call a 9 from 10, but that would be too much to ask for, given that it was a pretty screwed up shot to begin with.mr alexander wrote: How did this happen? The 7 0'clock jerk and the 1 o'clock heel create two different movements that are in opposite directions from one another. The jerk and the heel cancel each other out, resulting in the unanticipated surprise.

Re: Spotting scope use
It does work! (I have used dot sights.)David Levene wrote:Calling the shot, and checking that you have called it correctly, is your check that you watched the sights correctly on that shot. Calling the shot without checking it is a pointless process as it proves nothing.
BTW, I have no idea whether it works with a dot sight; I've never used one.
Re: Spotting scope use
Interesting....I shot a match this weekend and John Zurek, Steve Reiter, Bob Throne, Renald Schilke, Tony and Brenda Silva, myself, and most others were using a spotting scope.
But what the hell do these folks know.

I posted something that I wish to take back, so I deleted it. My apologies for being caustic to another member of this forum.

No one is saying NEVER USE A SCOPE! Just that looking at every shot fired has its fans and not doing so does too. As I posted before
read what Jim Henderson said about it."but what does he know?" a lot lol! Nice debate but I think this horse has suffered enough abuse.
