I work 24 hr shifts, So My best shooting usually happens in the morning, getting off shift. The more tired I am seems the better the groups are. Tired with maybe a bit too much coffee in me. Seems Im more relaxed. I seem to settle in behind the gun a little easier. Plus the mornings are nice & cool. Nobodys at the range. Thats when I shoot the best. How bout you

My preference is in the mornings also at the regulated range because of it being less crowded as you stated.If I am "upstate" at the hunting cabin where we also have a range I still prefer the mornings. Just seems I shoot better.

I knew a person that could drill the bull out of a paper target all day long. Let a deer walk out and he could not hit the broadside of a barn.
I do my best shooting in early morning on the range. When hunting game, any time of the day seems fine as I tend to zone in when I see something.

At the range, when I'm by myself. Even when I have a buddy come to the range w/me I tend to not shoot as well. I think the key is relaxing.

For me its anytime. Anytime that is when I am focused on shooting and only shooting. If I have something else on my mind or I am PO'd about something, I tend to not shoot as well.
I think the best time to shoot is when you are focused, relaxed and concentrating on the task at hand.
