As hard as i try, i cannot see the advantage of moving closer. To me it seems if one is more accurate when close, this will still not help one be accurate out far. However, if one is accurate out far, one will be accurate close.

Most of my tags are for antlerless Whitetail. I need to glass every deer, to be sure it isn't a small spike. My hands need to be free. I don't want to carry a stick. If i practice without a stick, i will be able to use a stick, if it becomes necessary.

After these many days of shooting, i feel more comfortable than i did on January 7. Certainly i have need for more improvement. Holding a rifle without support, and aiming a rifle without support, feels better now than it did on January 7. In less than a month, i have already improved. The last 6 shots that were shared here, would have resulted in freezer meat. Freezer meat is what we are after, nothing more.

My hope is to continue to improve. Shooting guns is something i really enjoy, so practice, practice, and more practice is not forced.

Oops, gotta go shoot that rifle.........
