range day questions - 11/01/16 11:21 PM
Shot off a few rounds at the range today with the 30-06 and 6.8. I am getting better at every range session that is for sure. Love the new 6.8 upper from Blackstone Arms. No issues whatsoever!!
I am getting better at my breathing etc etc but I do have one major problem that seems to be my nemesis and I cant seem to beat it. I am getting consistent 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards and I know my gun can do better than that and the reason I am not is my heartbeat. Every beat of my heart moves the reticle and I find myself trying to shoot between heartbeats. I am a hunter and I want to practice the way I hunt so yes I shoot off of a bench but the only sand bag is on the muzzle so I am not interested in all sandbags. I need real world experience.
How do you either control your heartbeat or keep it from affecting your rifle on each beat?
