Two Groups with Berger VLD's (Because of My Technique on the Bench)
@ 03:18 am (GMT) |
Lane SalvatoI was testing some loads with Berger 115 gr. VLD's in my 25-06. Kept getting two distinct groups. Bullet's nearly touching, less than .75-inch center to center, but definitely two groups.Read up on Nathan's shooting technique tutorial and went back to old school shooting. It took me awhile to get my technique down of the bench, but I can say that now I have one group. Thanks Nathan! |

Nathan FosterRe: Two Groups with Berger VLD's (Because of My Technique on the Bench)Thanks for the feedback Lane, much appreciated.Well put Warrick. One thing I can say for sure is that this is unfortunately a perishable skill. And 100 yards is where the work has to be done. It takes a good session to get your mojo back after a break. We also have to allow ourselves to make mistakes otherwise we stay very tense (both body and mind under stress). In these situations, we brace our entire body rather than focusing on the areas of our body where we need tension versus those areas that need to be relaxed. Instead, we just keep piling pressure on ourselves and groups either remain the same or get worse. If we are very stressed, we get a lot of sideways movement. In this regard, when I wrote the book, I tried to write in such a way that the mind is calmed while we work on the body. If we have identified a technique issue, it can pay to jot this down in your note book as a part of a check list or copy my book check list, highlighting relevant points. |
