Thread: An accuracy challenge

Gave the THLR Proficiency test a go today. Had 23sec spare and the shot felt good but the proof is in the pudding so to speak...

As @Norway pointed out from the other day "the shift towards the right COULD be increasing tension in your thumb palm" and it appears very apparent from this today I believe. I did this at the end of my shooting, next time I'll use the same piece of paper and shoot it at the start and see how I go.

23 seconds to spare is right about where you should be as it gives you time to take fix any minor hiccups that occur.

Let's count a 40 second time budget backwards:
4 seconds: Effect of shot observed, reloaded and ready (36 sec left)
2 seconds: Decision to shoot, execute trigger pull (34 sec left)
4 seconds: Final aim (30 sec left)
6 seconds: Get windcall on scope (24 seconds left)
10 seconds: Observation of wind, ballistic calculation (14 seconds left)
12 seconds: Settle into position, setup rifle (2 seconds left)
2 seconds: React to "start", move to firing position (0 seconds)

The above is the induvidual workstreams/ tasks. As you see it is an awareness of environment and cutting down on wind observation and getting that on the scope that is the major timesaver (Insert advertisement for THLR Hybrid reticle holds ).
There's only so much that can be saved setting the rifle up not including getting range, the trigger work pehaps a second and hardly anything on observation/ reloading.
