Okay, so now that I am getting into this competition shooting stuff I am learning a lot.
Wednesday I learned that there is a huge difference in getting off a quick second shot while wingshooting and getting off six quick shots in a row with a pump gun. I already kind of "knew" that I wanted a Benelli M1 Super 90, but now I know why.
Last night I learned that there is a better way to grip a pistol for fast follow up shots. Now that I know to not use the little hook on the front of the trigger guard for my support hand index finger, and that BOTH my thumbs should be pointed at the target to get the most contact with the grip and better control recoil, I can work on faster follow up shots.
So the question is, "What will I learn at my first tactical rifle match or 3-gun rifle stage that I could be working on in advance so that I look a little less like a newb and turn in a better performance on my initial outing?"
Thanks in advance,
--Chris
