[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 164369, member: 8"] To me the very most important thing is to have the gun dialed in out to 1K or more. This should be a reasonable cold barrel and should include groups at 100 yd, 300 yds, 500 yds, 800 yds and 1000 yds. I like to shoot at first light so the temperatures are cool and mirage and wind are low. About the only thing I insist on is the words “Going Hot”. This means that I have the correct sight picture and am going to physically touch the trigger. If I touch the trigger I expect to fire the rifle with five seconds. I use a wire frame from political campaign signs and a piece of cardboard. I make “+” signs on the cardboard using blue painters tape. I do not actually practice. I will go to a groundhog competitions or a F-class competition or I will go and “test” some bullets or I will go and shoot some critters, but I never just practice. While I am waiting on a barrel to cool I might run off 20 rounds of 22 rimfire or something. [/QUOTE]
