Stay low and deep into your gun until you complete the shot….. shoot the face off the target.That causes me more misses than anything else! UGH!
You're lifting your head.That causes me more misses than anything else! UGH!
Wrong. When you raise the comb, you raise the point of impact.Lifting your head typically causes one to shoot UNDER the target.
Shooting under lights gives you a low shooting gun because the lights in effect make your beads taller. I’ve cautioned all my league team partners against this illusion for years. Another hazard of night lights is the unshielded shooting glasses reflecting that backlight into your eyes and stopping down your irises.With him looking from just behind me, low-and-behold I was shooting low......... raised the comb and began to get smoke and solid hits.
Right there is a valuable piece of advice.Shooting under lights gives you a low shooting gun because the lights in effect make your beads taller.

I have shot competitive highpower rifle for many years -- iron sight NM M14.... the old rule is; light down sights down, light up sights up. In reality (with the rifle) the sun makes the bull appear larger and clear and thus you will tend to hold down and when the light goes away the bull appears smaller and thus you will push the front sight up closer. Those differences are worth a couple clicks of elevation with the rifle.Shooting under lights gives you a low shooting gun because the lights in effect make your beads taller.

Years and years of effort by Neil Winston to say exactly that, alongside films of targets as they broke and asking for those who “read” breaks to comment and those commenters were consistently wrong, engendered some surprise that people STILL try to read shot position by looking at target pieces.Another point I was trying to make was that looking at target chips will not accurately reveal where the gun is shooting.
