    Greetings All,
    Agree with the last few posts. Marksmanship is only developed through practice. I used to be a reasonable shot in our club competitions and even had my name engraved on a few trophies. At the national shoot I went to in the 1980's (at the Taupo Range) I was well back in the pack. I didn't do much practice but those in front of me certainly did. Our local NZDA used to have a strong 4 position shooting programme but there were always the moans about it being a hunting club and not a target shooting club, at least from some. Some of our top hunters that actually shot the target shoots scored well. The others who would know.
    The Taupo NZDA does not shoot bench rest competitions to my knowledge. The benches are there for sighting in. Four position matches are held for both rimfire and centre fire at 50 and 100 metres for the former and 100 and 200 metres for the latter. There are also running boar shoots over 50 metres for both rimfire and centre fire and also rimfire metallic silhouette. These are little steel targets shot standing at 40 to 100 metres. I don't know of any better practice for developing marksmanship than these last two shoots. Most other NZDA ranges will offer some or more of these shoots. Get into it.
    Regards Grandpamac.
