We have also found useful to take an already proven rifle and load to see if any of it might be conditions!

It’s embarrassing enough when friends shoot my rifles better than me, but there is nothing more embarrassing than being outshot by my 88 year old father.

For most of us, shooting is an exercise in self instruction. Early on in our shooting experience, we settle into a shooting style, that eventually becomes what feels natural. There is no equivalent to taking a golf lesson. Also, I find that shooters do not do much experimenting, with different techniques or equipment, or do any dry firing. In the various types of benchrest competition shooters may try several different front or rear bags, and shooting styles, looking for the combination that works best with a particular rifle, and the requirements of the kind of shooting that they compete in. Typically, this is not the case with shooters that do not compete. They tend to try harder, instead of trying “different”, and they tend to operate under the assumption that there is one particular method that is correct. As you have undoubtedly concluded, my suggestion is to try different equipment, and shooting styles. What works well for one rifle, may not be the best for another, and even though one normally associates dry firing with position shooting, IMO it can be very useful for improving ones bench shooting as well, identifying problems that are not seen when firing, because recoil and sound draw ones attention.
