As the thing always moves, I add a little pressure each time it moves onto the target until it breaks.<BR/><BR/>I may have worded that badly. Or I may be doing it wrong.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-61520903807693805162008-06-09T20:04:00.000-07:002008-06-09T20:04:00.000-07:00"That means that, far more than off some kind of r..."That means that, far more than off some kind of rest, part of hitting means timing your shot to when the sights move onto the aiming point."<BR/><BR/>That is the exact opposite of what I've been taught and what I've learned through (admittedly brief) experience. If you try to break the shot when the sights cross the target, you're going to move the gun in the process and miss. I've been taught to hold the sights on target as stable as you can and add pressure until the shot surprises you. I learned at an Appleseed event that NPOA is key to achieving maximum stability.zeeke42https://www.blogger.com/profile/13782810414231954138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-59905970392844744522008-06-09T06:53:00.000-07:002008-06-09T06:53:00.000-07:00Using a sling (properly) tends to amplify the effe...Using a sling (properly) tends to amplify the effects of your pulse on aim stability. The sling is tightly wrapped around your arm, which contains relatively large arteries and veins. The pulse is directly transmitted through the sling.<BR/><BR/>That's one reason for wearing heavy clothing or a shooting jacket, not only does it make for more comfort, but it also dampens the effects of the pulse transmitted through the sling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-34536173400054644172008-06-08T22:24:00.000-07:002008-06-08T22:24:00.000-07:00When I was working at a company that made pulse mo...When I was working at a company that made pulse monitors, I discovered that altering my breathing made significant differences in my pulse characteristics. These monitors would track blood pressure through the complete pulse cycle, showing minute changes. Just another vote for fooling with the gear before magagement show up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
