    So I watched and then went back to some early ones, yes, excellent. Couple of questions:
    1. Dry firing - are you using a snap cap to protect the firing pin or does it not matter?
    2. The tourist arrested with "tons" of range brass in his camper - why was he arrested? and why do you trash the brass? no reloading?

    cheers. J.
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...

    1) No but only because I don't have snap caps.
    2) Theft of private property. Brass is worth thousands even as scrap metal. The bins are at the range to collect & recycle.

    @Norway, hand on heart just yesterday I was thinking how much I have learnt from your previous posts and vids. Lately my shooting with a 22 has got a bit poor 50/50, so yesterday I started to really concentrate on all the things you have taught. Result 3 headshot rabbits, 1 lapwing (plover) 1 magpie no miss. All 50 - 60 metres while feeding out

    Thanks for that, hearing of other people's success is inspiring.

    Sorry for late reply, I get heaps or error 403 access forbidden from the forum. No idea why

    Since last post I tried the 'Natural point of aim' from your vid. Magpie 70 metres with only 25mm of black visible because of a rise in the paddock. I had just watched you vid so it was fresh in my mind. Closed my eyes, opened again and I was 75mm off. Adjusted position closed eyes, opened, didnt move POA so squeezed off the sub and poof dead Magpie. That was a very difficult shot that I would normally expect to miss. (Rest off side of a fence post)

    Used the 'Natural point of aim' again yesterday, closed eyes, 100 mm off, adjust body and recheck NPA - then perfect shot ! I am a total convert now. This has been the single best improvement to my shooting ever.
    Cheers for putting it up.

    Thanks and no problem. I should have another film out in a little less than two weeks. Just returned from a wilderness hunt and sorting those clips now.

    Here's the next segment. It repeats the basics and starts digging a little into ballistics
