Thread: Long range shooting course

I would always try to prioritise hits over speed. Even on a long course the weighting of time vs hits can be such that speed is good but not that much of an advantage. Say a course that takes about 1 hour to go through with 20 shots would have say a 3 minute penalty for a missed shot.

There will always be people who have "advantages" over someone else at a competition shoot. He has a bigger gun, he has a better scope, he practices more than me, he spent more money, etc ... Why should "he is fitter than me" be any different an excuse? Not to mention as soon as you are thinking about how he is shooting and not how you are shooting you have already lost! I prefer the shoots i run to reflect hunting conditions and as such they are not a test of simple shooting ability - that is what I use F-Class for.
