Shooting an egg at 300 yards with a .22

Oh, does anyone know of a class offered to this style of shooting? Id love to start learning the proper technique & form.

Seem to remember mention of someone who knows/is a biathlon shooting coach here too. Anyone know who that is/was?

Silhouette shooting is what I do. I host smallbore matches at Green Mill in Erie every third Sunday of the month also and frequently shoot highpower the first Sunday, out at CRC.

A chicken in smallbore is about the size of a golf ball with a few appendages, and it’s only at 40m. If you come out, I’ll even have a $2,500 rifle you can use for the day… you know the crack dealer method, that’s how I got hooked.

The first taste, is always free.

I am only accurate to 40 yds. Once it gets to 43.74 yards, I am screwed....

It's a bit of a haul for you but there are regular sessions at the Olympic Training Center facility (or there were ... I don't know how the pandemic has affected things there). I always had conflicts but have been meaning to try to get back into it for years. My eyes are starting to go as is everything else so no way I'll do as well as I did in high school but I just need to go shooting.

If you want, I could go over some of the basics from when I shot on the team in high school. You notice in her stance, she kind of leans back from the hip -- that lets you use your hip (or beer belly) as a base to rest your elbow so your forearm is offering structural support instead of using muscle to keep the rifle up. I was taught to use my open flat palm as a rest (some guys made a fist instead and rested the rifle balance point on their fist). No fingers on the stock as gripping it can induce micro-motions.
