Who shoots a practice card first ?

Def those stickers their magnetic or something. sometimes I just shoot a couple of sighters and get the same results.

No it's true. But the .22 lead air pellets are affected a lot more than the .22 rimfire - you know, because they're slower. They're in range of the sticker for more of the time, see.

Slightly off subject but still relevent i think.
Do you find you shoot better if you get a nice rythem going.

When i shoot a skirmisher i obviosly have to shoot very fast and to date my record is 18 shots away and 18 hits on a 25 yard skirmisher, with a single shot anschutz 1913.

The only trouble was i went so fast 1 of the diagrams had only 1 shot at it so officcially it was only scored as a 15.

I have found that when i shoot my match cards if i go fairly quick i do much better than laying there analysing the shot before i even take it.

I tend to just put 3 shots on to check the rifles aim is ok and then to get on with the cards as I tend to find my best shots are in the first 15 or so after that I find my arms start to get tired and then the shakes set in.
