Another way to make you a better shot which will also boost your confidence in your shooting when it comes time to shoot your rifle. Get your 22 rimfire out and start plinking away during the off season.Its fun and great way to becoming a better shot. I shoot 20-50 rounds anight and it does wonders in the long run, shoot at differnt ranges and targets to make things interesting and challenging. Come hunting season, shot a few through your rifle to get use to its trigger and feel of the rifle, your set. It will even make you a good off hand shot with out the use of sticks.
