Default RE: ACCURACY REPEATABILITY

I have good days and I have bad days. I can't blame my bad days on the particular gun I'm shooting I can only blame myself.

The one thing I try to do is remain consistent, I prep and load each cartridge exactly the same, over the years I have developed a routine and if I deviate from it I can expect diffrent results.

I use the same rests and try to hold the rifle or handgun in the same position each time.

A simple example here....When I shoot my contender handguns I wear a neoprene glove no matter what caliber or what the weather is because if I don't then my accuracy is effected quite abit. I never thought something as simple as a glove could make a diffrence but I've shot enough groups to know it does.

Again....When I'm shooting my hunting rifle I have a vest with a small towel folded up and sewn in the right shoulder that I wear. Not to reduce recoil so much ( tho it does help), but to simulate the extra clothes I'll be wearing on those cold mornings in the field. If I shoot in a light T shirt then accuracy is effected.

Then there are guns that are just plain finicky, but thats what keeps this hobby fun
