Thread: 22lr practice

Sounds great, except I am not on the same island...One hint, get some small game sized targets (soft drink bottles, cans, metal discs etc) and dont be afraid to take some larger targets like a 1.5 bottle or a pack of balloons as these represent great "deer sized" kill zone targets..... These can be set up at different ranges and kids react well to the reaction of them being hit far more than paper. Practise accuracy on paper to start with, looking at techniques etc but the reactive session afterwards is fun and helps keep their attention.

One pointer I always get new shooters to do is I get them to try and see their hole / shot through the scope before they look up...this stops them popping their head up once the trigger has pulled and I can go into why I think it works so well on accuracy, but why is not really important. Results talk for themselves...
