Hi fellow forumers...first of all thanks to you all and IFG for helping me locate the shooting club..today it was the first day at the shooting raneg and I was asked to shoot 10 shots from an Indian made open sight rifle in the 10 mtr. I tried my best ....I failed inthe first 5 shots and was looking so silly...I shot al the five shots in the whites..scoring 5s and 6s...later I realised that was more because of the excitemnet of shooting fast one after another....but then somehow I managed to raise the level in the last 5...I stopped..concentrated and took my time (i kept a window of 15 seconds for each shot) before pulling the trigger...and that helped...my last shotd were all within the target and looked much better..with 1 shot at 10..two at 9 and two at 8...I felt good and the first thing i did was looked at the coach, expecting a pat at my back :p ..that didnt happen , but i was satisfied with my own performance. that was my tiny little story of my first day at a shooting range. :D

Thanks for sharing your results.
I can only suggest better breathing control. I'm sure lots more practise will help you attain it.
Though I'm no medal winner, I find I score best if I shoot within 3 seconds of holding the target in my sights. Any longer and I put down the gun and restart

I think you are right hamiclair..I could easily understand how unstable my hold was when I lifted the rifle...with very breath..my left hand sunk down and raised up as I was holding my left elbow against my ribs...so yes, now I know why you guys always talk about the correct breathing technique on the forum.

avishek,
It is downright rude to hijack someone else's valid thread. :evil:
Most of your questions have been covered in previous posts in the forum anyway. We are not your personal google service
