[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1538647, member: 13632"] There a a few things that really help a guy feel confident in pushing his effective range. First is if possible shoot the area you hunt during the of season, we know what trails elk us and having hunted the same area for years we have spots we just kill elk so we have rocks rolled up next to trails or into spots where we can actually shoot spots so we aren't just going at it guessing, we record those shot and get shots into a data book. Second is making a life size cardboard target, I use an antelope because the colors on a goat give someone hold references. This really helps when shooting game since usually when you pull down on game the reaction is, wow that's a long way, even though it's a range you'll beat steel without a thought. Even today I dry fire on every animal I take at range, any animal I can in fact, it's usually a little surprising what you see and it gets you settled down mentally and reconnect the brain and trigger. Having a spotter is invaluable too but not everyone has that available. [ATTACH=full]115808[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
