I don't always agree with TGR but whenever I do as he says my groups shrink. I'm going to try this next time.RanchRoper wrote:TGR: thank you for the observations. I will make sure I do it. I'll take all the help I can get! Much appreciated! 25 yds is impressive. That's my goal to work up to.

The grip TGR showed you works very well. I just have a .22 but have been using that grip the last three range trips. It takes a little getting used to but once you do it feels natural. You definitely have the shots centered. Now just a matter of getting the consistent point of aim through the trigger pull.
Load on Sunday and Shoot all Week.......okay it's a Mare's Leg I will reload on Wednesday.

This guy is a super shooter , I shoot gunfighter which is at 5:43 but note his little finger is under grip in the whole video on different style of shooting . The little finger control the recoil and keep the gun from rolling in you hand . I'm not a better shoot then anyone on this forum . I just learned how to control the guns that is even true in air guns to make each shot and grip the same and repeat it every time . . This is a test target and is the 1st and only time I shot this gun on paper . I normal shoot steel .
