    Not really that much, messing with cameras eats a lot of time. I rarely do more than 100 rds in one session, so it currently adds up to less than 2000 rounds per year.

    I have just watched the last couple of videos, I also use the same technique with natural point of aim closing my eyes on target and reopen still on target. Would like to try the trigger technique but the way I’ve been taught the finger only touches the trigger when ready to fire, especially with lightened triggers on a hunting rifle.

    This is the last film this season. It's final details regarding ballistics knowledge in order to help you navigate sources and keeping it relevant to your own shooting

    @Norway I have to thank you again for your tutorials esp. the 'Natural point of aim'. Last week my 16 yr old hunting apprentice (friends son) out for some field position shooting practice with the 22. His shooting has been poor in the past ( although his handling and safety is very good) but using the NPA he shot well from very difficult and testing positions. Then a couple of evenings later he shot his first deer with a clean well placed shot - a heavy 2yr stag at about 100mtrs in the gloom of first darkness, checking NPA before closing the bolt and then again just before the shot.

    same thoughts re Natural Point of Aim . . turns out i didnt know the name of the techneque but thru trial and error came to the same conclusion.
    same thoughts re trigger control @tikka probably same bias learned in a NZ hunting culture but still makes sense to me, body position and how you hold the stock first, trigger last.
    also not sure on a comment about altering cheekrest height to change point of impact . . to me its looking right down thru the centre of the scope always, maybe i missunderstood ?

    anyway .. always good to look and talk about improving and fine tuning shooting techneque . . cheers @Norway
    without a picture . .. it never happened !

    With hindsight, I should have expressed grip technique better. I put one flashing label in one episode, but never really bothered further explanation.

    "Trigger first" is for the shooting range in order to learn where your hand needs to go on your rifle. Many never do and just makes the best of it and that may or may not impede progress.
    Once you crack that code, you shoot normal with grip and trigger last.

    It's roughly:
    Get to the position from where you can shoot.
    Get the rifle supported & lined up on target.
    Position your body & establish contact/ pressures/aim.
    Safety & Trigger
    Shoot & Observe

    cheers @Norway

    slightly off topic ramble . . there is a great doco on MottoGP called ' into the Apex ' with one line that i remember something like ' they all have a different techneque but are within 1/1000 of a second in lap times.
    same with shooting, you have the Science first and then you have the Art that a person brings to it . . thanks for taking the time and energy to show us your way.

    in Blog 343 at 8.09 minutes you changed the cheek height to lesson the cheek pressure, i found that interesting and at odds with the way i approach it.
    If i have an adjustable cheekrest its to get the eye looking straight down the middle of the scope, if i dont i have to make my head rest in the right spot to do it . . part of the right pressure you apply to the stock is a part of the process you go thru setting up the shot . . if that makes sense.

    can i ask do you hunt/shoot with different rifles ? be interested to hear what they are if you do, you have a very sophisticated rifle/scope setup in the vids.

    Yes it does make sense. Sorry for the late reply, get a lot of errors ("Forbidden") trying to enter this forum. Just cleared all cookies from the browser, so seems to work better now.

    My "serious" rifles
    Blaser R8 : Main hunting rifle, 6.5x55. Will be getting a 6,5x284 barrel to drive copper bullets at max speed.
    Rem700: 221 Fireball. In order to be compliant with laws regarding transporting firearms on snowmobiles. Would have been a 6x45 (6mm-223) or 6mm BR if not

    My "folly" rifles
    Blaser K95: Singleshot rifle, 6.5x57R and 6.5x55 barrels. My folly. For mountain hunting and chamois especially, hopefully also farmland roedeer. Purely recreational.
    CZ527 22 Hornet. Another folly. A gift from a gunwriter who has been influental in my "shooting development" (I read about that 22 Hornet as a kid)
