If it's not this one then get this one on your list. I've read it 6 times, taken note after note...I keep it on the bedside table.

It's a good one. Take it slow, take notes and it will help you a lot.

I got bogged down on mass reloading data in the other book. I already reload....

Most of the levels mount on the central diameter of the scope. Looking around the eyepiece defeats the purpose.

Yes, the scope levels I use (Accuracy 1st and Vortex) mount to the tube. When I am behind the gun though it's as simple as opening my left eye. Once level (I mean when using a bipod) I don't have to level up again until next shot. Different when shooting free hand I guess.

The bipod would make a big difference, haven't used one much. The sling has been a good friend, and I have been thinking about some shooting sticks.

I haven't shot prone much, but I did buy a pad for it.

I will measure the ring, and get a level coming. I like the tritium idea, I have that on my 1911.

Slings can work well. I have a tactical one that adjusts quickly for fast positional changes. Keeps the gun snug to my shoulder at all times when doing shoot and move drills or in competition.

There's some key factors to remember in prone shooting; Body position and all. YouTube will help.

This reminds me...You might like to check out this guy. I don't use YouTube much but have seen some of this guy's stuff over the years. He seems to know what he is about.

I like him! This guy is interesting. I have a full set of drawings for a 50 BMG Bolt gun. Collecting metal....

Some good shooting on this video.

Do you practice off hand (non dominant) hand shooting too?

I think so too, seems to know his stuff and can shoot too.

Do you practice off hand (non dominant) hand shooting too?

I do as competitions often challenge us with that. I shoot IPSC too (handgun) and do the same there. With rifles I also practice shooting on a 90Ā° cant. It's amazing the difference it makes to a shot. Truly amazing. I placed 4th in a comp against 55 of the best long range practical shooters in the country (including military and LEO) a couple years ago because I had cant DOPE and the ability to shoot off-hand.

Here's an IPSC video from YouTube in case you don't know what it is plus a link to the website. https://www.ipsc.org/

They do this at the gun club. The meets are large, and make it difficult to find an open range, as they use a dozen or so ranges. There is a national meet there about once a year.

Glad you mix it up! I found that when I started firing black powder, my modern rifle shooting improved. With black powder the shooter has to hold the site picture while the slow powder burns.

Yeah, IPSC tends to commandeer ranges. I like to mix it up though and it works, for fun. I shot some black powder guns once. It's pretty cool to be honest although I don't know much about it. Makes one respect the wild west gunfighters of the past though huh?

True, they were impressive; it is hard to make them reliable! I have a flintlock pistol I am still trying to get a reliable spark from the frizzen.

It is pretty fun though!

Flintlock? Now that's Old-school! Never fired one. Now I want to! I bet it's cool as! Pistols at 20 paces bro! šŸ™ˆ

Trying to get it to work, but I am building a rifle to match. The rifle will have two lock assemblies, one flint, and one percussion. I only lack the barrel, plan to go 50 calibre.

I am sure that the lock time will be greater, but it should be a lot of fun anyway! You use the pistol, I'll use my double barrelled 20 gauge black powder shotgun, LOL....

Only if I get to load the 20 guage, LOL! Clay instead of powder.... :)

Right now, unless I get that lock problem worked out, you might still win....

It is hard to find someone who is expert on a flintlock firearm....

But if I can't find one, I will play with it; until I become one!

That's the ticket...Fake it until you make it? Nice one.

Hey, if at some point I drop off with my comments it's because I am flying interstate in a couple hours for the weekend, not because I'm ignoring you.

No problem, I will be on the road next Monday myself. I have to finish a mini-split install, for one of my Sisters.

I find that I can usually think my way out of trouble; just need to jump in, and start!

Travel safely!

Sometimes they want me to fix gear that I have never seen before, on a new (to me) process. Then it gets fun!
