Swampcollie,
Thank you for the vote of confidence.
By aiming time(I think "they" mean),notthe time it takes to "settle in",control your breathing and ready yourself, but the actual time that you concentratewith the crosshairson the bull(3 to 5 seconds on the exact point of aim) as youSQUEEZE.
Ialsolearned that I can see the crosshairs on the target with BOTH eyes open.
Every little bit helps, so thanks again.......
I'm with you there.

Another thing that I found too was I tend to shoot better, and in retrospect get better groups, using a lower power setting on my scope. I typically hunt with my rifle left on about 5x... so thats what I dial it in with also. Been doing it that way for a few years now. Maybe my discipline has improved, who knows, but no doubt that it has helped a lot... perhpas I concentrate a bit harder. Go get em!
