I was taught to do something similar to that when i did Archery for many years and if we were not comfortable with the shot we were to lower the bow point the arrow at the ground and as you say recompose and try again.
I also should have mentioned i have a 2.5 x 32 scope on the Alecto and i am not looking for absolute perfection just general ten minutes of plinking when i get chance.
It is a pity i cannot put a picture up on here as an attachment or i could have shown the hits on the card target which i did at about 8 metres.
I really appreciate everyone's advice and i will endeavour to try my best but i do have medical restrictions that do not help with shooting (hence i had to give up Archery on the advice of an Orthopedic surgeon after two lots of surgery) and this brings me to where i thought that if i had a rest i could place my Alecto on i would reduce the chance of further damage or other issues.
I do not want the above paragraph to sound like "Oh here comes that old injury chestnut" and neither do i want to come across with the sound of a violin playing all i am doing is trying to give you the facts as they are.
