Sight radius

Hi all, Fully agree with Guy. From my own experience it really does work. Not only the ballistics (vertical) of my 300m rifle improved (.308 @ 3070fps mv) but there is one more important effect that I didn't see mentioned: the increase in sight radius. The main reason why my own scores improved a lo...

Biofeedback

Hi mate, I could not find any literature anywhere in regards to shooting, so I researched medical papers that focused on that issue and adapted that knowledge to shooting. I am hoping that after posting the training regime that I use, other more experienced competition shooters might be able to help...

i Adrian, Just another remark: yesterday I spoke about perfecting your natural point if aim as a final solution for the problem, but as a stop gap solution for the "voice in your head"/ trigger snatching issue please read the following article: http://www.scatt.com/articles/19/coordination...

Adrian, the solution for that is taking the following steps: 1- the slipping from the 10 ring may come from holding the shot for too long thus letting muscular tension from your shoulder set in. Try to take the shot inside a period of 5 seconds. When you feel that tension creeping in, immediately cl...

Biofeedback

Hi mate, I reckon that your post is well timely :) The focus of my own training right now is on biofeedback and mental imagery at shot release. If there are no objections from other shooters, I'd like to post my exploits on biofeedback and hopefully to also get feedback (no pun intended) from other ...

Hi mate Unfortunately I only shoot prone. :( But I'll tell you what I will do: Tomorrow I'm coaching at the sisc and I know some top tier air rifle and 3p shooters. I'll ask them what is their take on the subject. Are there any specifics that you would like me to focus on? Big regards to allbthe sho...

Hi Mike, I reckon that in the start you might need to check your position for the following adjustments. I only coach experienced shooters and this is the procedure that I use to cut their pulse: 1- LOP-with the jacket on and standing up with the sling off. Grab the rifle comfortably and put the but...

Yep, and it had to be me :) What I've done, I was using a gehmann pulse free sling, and I reckon that the massive cuff that they have was contributing to the problem as well. So, I went to the "cupboard" and whipped out a normal gehmann sling, did away with the sling keeper, and glued on t...

Thanks Howard for the precious advice After putting a thin strip of neoprene on the inside of the sling that contacts with my forearm (& the back of my hand) and straightening out a tiny crease that formed on the jacket, on top of where the ulnar artery runs, I got a nice surprise . Alas the pul...

I agree with you Katoom. I am ambidextrous and left eye dominant. Started shooting R/H because there were no L/H rifles available and quickly plateaud on mediocre scores. Changed to good L/H gear and very quickly moved up the ranks to where I am now. Btw: yes it is based on muscle memory. My change ...

I meant "then to the butt of the rifle...9 o'clock"
Being left handed (ambidextrous and left eye dominant) means that I always need to invert directions and sometimes I forget...

Ok :) I put the pulse bounce to be towards 3 o'clock (because I thought that most shooters are right handed thus getting a straight answer) but in reality I am left handed and the pulse bounce is towards 9 o'clock. I put the rifle on a stand and measured the trace when pulling a shot (15mm) t= 1seco...

Can I please have some advice regarding pulse?

A big hello from downunder :) I am getting a pulse bounce visible through the sights going to exactly 3 o'clock. On the scatt it shows the same and the trace component for the pulse is 25mm. I've ruled out by exclusion the chest bounce, jugular, shoulder and the brachial artery... How would you test...
