Jay, I got an old glove and am using an sleeping bag mat (camping type) which has helped on the comfort front quite a bit. I ordered a Barska 20-60 scope and it should be here next week. It will help because I often will shoot a group of 5 or 10 and they will all be offset to one direction (but a pr...

Thanks again! Holding my breath after exhaling has produced the desired result of getting rid of the stray shots. Like magic. Thanks. It has helped my average score increase by 5-6 points and my worst shots are now an occasional 8....no 5, 6's or 7's in the last couple hundred shots. I did not inclu...

Pat I was holding my breath at full inhalation. I will now hold it when I exhale as you wrote....thanks. I just went over all of my targets and of the really bad shots, 57% are high and left (I shoot right handed), 21% are Low and left and the rest are scattered all over. If I could just turn those ...

When I finish my shot, I usually see the same target picture as when I pull the trigger. If it is different, it usually goes right or left and I think (not sure yet) that this is ...

Hi I hope someone can direct me to the right answer or place to read as I am a new shooter. I am shooting a CM-2 rifle prone at the A23 targets from 50 yards. My hunting club range has an elevation gain of about 5-7 feet (uphill). When I sight and zero my peep sights at the top set of targets, by th...
