Thread: Technique Tips - Newbie

I found their clip on shooting positions helpful. Except i won't be carting shooting sticks up the hill with me. Other stuff was helpful

Those groups are ok.
How well you shoot depends on a lot of things.
Those would be good to a 200m on a deer.
And it was your first go.

i went from a .22 to a .270 and blasted my way through a heap of ammo at nothing in particular... developed a good flinch that still gets me now and then! it really sucks. be mindful of whats happening when you pull the trigger and ask someone to load the mag with a snap cap randomly inserted. you will notice your flinch when you pull the trigger on the snap cap (you wont know which round is a snap cap until you use it) A mate did this trick on me and it really shows how bad the flinch is.

Also tag along to a club meeting (look up shooting clubs) try looking up the range calendar for the nzda range at weir road. there are all sorts of shoots there that will help.
