Don't outspend them, but out work em!

I've seen folks trying to buy targets on the trap field. A shiny, new Kreighoff, Kolar, Perazzi, Silver Seitz, Ljutic or whatever won't break the targets alone. The gun needs to fit you and you need to shoot it so whichever gun you use become an extension of your body.
 
What happens when you shoot the cross wind!
:eek:
I was making a little funny here. But seriously

Be careful with the clicking!
For one, wait your full time for a better condition
if you start down the clicking road, as the day goes on you can end up with so much bias in your scope when the let up does come you find yourself shooting into the condition with your impact disagreeing with your flags that’s a bad place to be

My first year shooting UBR I clicked to everything at least the 1st half of the year, man was that a pain!
 
Not to derail the thread but I can tell you this. Every-time I sat down to shoot a score target at the Tack Driver, I was uncomfortable as Hell and shaking like a crack-baby.

Heck, that's when I shoot my best! I love it but if I don't get up with my hands shaking, I know I wasn't into it enough. True story and I've said those words to a bunch of people. It's a great feeling, being scared to death every time you pull the trigger, and they're all dots. It really is that.
 
Ok here is a serious question, in this deteriorating thread. So whether turning a tuner or varying their load, what percentage of those who have given up on their wonderfully crafted tune/load actually know their changed untested load or tuner position will work vs those hoping it might work. Be careful, there will be a follow up question. Let's hear it you last half dozed posters, don't be shy.

I test it on the sighter. “Sometimes is Good sometimes is Sheet!”

SR Score competitor. Everything is important. And while the components may be similar, what you don't see is the effort and time many put into making sure the actions are really working at their best..ignition, opening effort, trigger timing, etc. The heart of a killer good rifle is the bedding. It's amazing how many good BR guns have very poor bedding jobs.

Most experienced shooters don’t guess. if they make a tuner adjustmen or a load adjustment they test it on the sighter
I go to the line every target with the load I’ve been shooting and one on either side of it. If I have time after I have finished the score card or group and I think that tune is going away. I test those loads I have with me for the next target. I thought that’s what everyone did
 
Thanks for the replies. Being a scoreshooter for the most part I seldom chased loads even when I shot some IBS group shoots years ago. I pretty much developed a load for a barrel and if I think it's going away I go to the tuner before the next match to check where I am. Has kept me on top of things pretty easily. I sometimes read posts on changing loads during a match and wonder how much is intelligent choice vs this isn't good maybe I will luck into something else. I might get a bit more adventuresome with adjusting the tuner during during a match but I would hate for that to become a crutch for during a poor job reading the flags, bench manners, and time management. I did shoot tuners for 4 or 5 years before seeing anyone else using them thanks to good guidance from Bob Green.
