S1 Ep 136A hornady 4DOF quirk in ELR that matters

E

So at the Nightforce ELR match I realized that my kestrel game was yellow belt and needed to level up quick. Each stage I knocked off items and details that improved my score steadily through the day.One of the discoveries I made was a quirk with wind angle and shooting angle that made a difference if done right and caused elevation issues if not addressed.Once fixed scores continued to climb and I continued to knock off more details that allowed me to go from somewhere between 60 and 100th to finishing top 10. For me it was a huge win because I learned a lot and had fun doing it.Hopefully this helps you is youre shooting at ranges where the details matter.Inside of 1000 it really isnt much of an issue so I never paid attention.

S1 Ep 139I think my X is broken, I missed again..

E

Trying to talk about gear issues and what I have seen.I think diagnosing gear issues can be overwhelming if you continue to shoot rounds and try to "test" by fire rather than thinking through what could cause the problem and look there before shooting.Its not always easy, but more often than not it requires less shooting thank you think.I kind of ramble, but most of you are used to it?thanksnext will be the shooter.
