[QUOTE="mike243, post: 5757759, member: 3237"] Rim fire, shoot a lot of 22 and 22 mag if you have them, set targets at different distances and burn plenty of ammo trying to hold on the same spot for 10 rounds without bringing your head up, don't try to move your shots just aim at same spot and see what you and the gun are doing. Take breaks and let your rifle cool down while you review your targets and think of what you can do on holding or supporting your weapon, then practice free handing, not as many shots as it wont take long for muscle fatigue to affect your groups. I haven't shot much since the ammo craze and work/life gets in the way. I use shooting sticks when I can but am comfortable free handing to 100y without a problem, you want to think of all your weapons as easy to shoot, if recoil affects you down size caliber, no shame in it and I would trade accuracy over horsepower any day, try ear muffs, you would be surprised at the reaction folks have to noise, lot of things affect us differently and most can be corrected but you need to figure out what it is before you start changing anything imo. good luck [/QUOTE]
