I've done some modifications to my position and wants some help with my thoughts. I've lowered the sling a little on my left arm and I put my left elbow a little further out from my body. This change is because my handstop is lower than my sling on the left arm and I believe that this is creating ex...

I have mostly pressure from the front and the pressure from top and bottom wing is equal and a bit less than the middle of the buttplate. The pressure is rather firm and the rifle doesn't twist on the jacket but the jacket is a little loose in the shoulder so the jacket twists. My wrist isn't that u...

One conclusion I can draw from this is that my position doesn't seem to look totally wrong. I will keep on working with the tips that I got and continue the journey to become good at shooting.

Thanks Albert for a very good answer with information on what to change and what the effect will be. Easier to understand this way. I have a little tendency for the NPA to shift left so I will certainly test having the knee a little lower and changing the centerpoint of gravity to the right a little...

The sight raiser blocks gets me a better head position if I tilt my head forward and look with my eye more upwards my eyebrow easily gets in the way.

Yes I'm pointing at the target bull if I remove my right hand. This is one thing I don't like: I feel that my head tilts back which makes my glas holder beeing a little high and my NPA to get a little high. Don't know what the cause is but maybe I can get an idea. This doesn't happen all the time, w...

I've been shooting smallbore for a little more than two years and my average in competition is 580.

The best I've done in training indoors is 589 and I'm often over 580 when shooting indoors.

What errors do you see in my position and what can I do to change that to the better? It looks like my back is like a banana but I think that's the jacket sliding up on the right side when I pull up the right leg. One thing that I feel is that my head tilts back which makes my glas holder beeing a l...

Yes I've noticed that prone is a very complicated position even though it's the steadiest. I've tried to see my pulse and time the shots to in between heartbeats and also when the hold is the best. I will work with this on saturday when I have a competition with 60 shots prone and 3x40. This competi...

Yes I'm checking npa during my natural respiratory pause and firing the shot. Or at least I try to do it.

Yes I see a difference in a couple of the high ones not in the low ones that I can remember. The rifle recoils higher than the rest of the shots and before I look at the monitor I know it's a high shot. I will pay extra attention to cheek placement and if I get these high and low ones I will try to ...

Double post

Okey that's a thing that I will work on next time and see if that solves the problem. Sometimes I see that the rifle recoils higher and of course the reward is a high shoot but many of these high and low ones looks good so maybe it's a incositency in my cheek placement. Thank you for your answer. It...

I've noticed over several training sessions that the grouping when I'm shooting from prone position is vertical. I get alot of 9,9 and 9,8 out high and low. The horisontal grouping is much better, of course some shoots go out that way to when I do something wrong. Some of the shoots that go high I b...

Testing from the shoulder is an option but in my opinion it's a rather bad testing method when I'm at such low level. How do I know if it's the ammunition or me if I shot a 20 shot string and have two 9,9 and a 9,7 and in the next 20 shot string with a different batch I get one 9,9 and three 9,8 and...

No shooting range here has a shooting vise. I could send the rifle to the supplier but not until in september because I need it for training and competitions. I think my ammunition will last until I can go to my supplier and test it. But he doesn't know if he's going to be at home that date but we w...

Yes I know it's important to test lots and that is a problem because I don't have any good way doing that. I've done some testing using my kneeling roll on a table and supporting the rifle on that but I feel that it can be just shooting error that make some groups bad and not the lot. It's pretty bi...

If I rephrase my question.

Is it worth buying Eley Team or Match even though I can't do any batch testing?

That is my thought about the less than perfect shoot I really don't know if it's the ammunition or me. It's mostly me I think but it's unnecessary to blame me when it's in fact the ammunition sometimes. The problem is that I can't test different lots and then buy the best one that I find. First it's...

I shoot 3p 50m and prone 50m. I've been shooting 50m for about 2 years and my scores are about 575-585 in prone and 1100-1125 in 3p. I train with live fire shooting about 2 times per week and with scatt 1-4 times per week. I have no chance trying different lots of ammunition because I've to order ev...
