Default RE: keep on missing

A lot of people don't get enough range time to really come proficient shooters (myself definitely included), and as a result we develop bad habits like flinching, not following through, jerking the trigger etc etc. So what I do during the season is when i get home and night and before i put my rifle away i triple check that its unloaded and practice a few nice clean dry fires. I will pick out a small spot on the wall (or better yet put on a hunting show and try to get a good shot off on the deer on tv) and slowly squeeze the trigger until i get a perfect trigger break with no jerking or flinching. I feel like it helps me not fall back into bad habits. Again, just remember all the gun safety rules and make sure its unloaded.
