Thread: 22lr practice

Good stuff.

I’ll be doing exactly this with my youngest boy this evening.

To keep it fun, I use beer cans filled with water, and set them up at varying ranges, say 18 or 24. Then give the young fella some tuition for the first half dozen or so, then over to him to take out the rest. I’ll sit back and watch him rather than the target, looking specifically for cheek weld, eye relief, if he’s struggling to position his head correctly, how he controls the trigger - any jerks snatches?

Then, how confident and smooth he is with ejecting, cycling the bolt, reloading. I can hear if he’s hit the can, no need to look at that.

We’re training tonight with the extra long sitting position bipod, and how to position the body with elbows on legs etc.

And hopefully killing plenty of bunnies.
