Since I just got back into shooting 50 yard comp matches, Ive learned a couple new things.
I used to use a bi pod and a cheap Caldwell adjustable rest in the rear and found that I have a few flyers that I had no idea where they came from. That's when I found that my Caldwell rest would change the point of aim with just a touch of my finger, it just wasn't stable enough. So, I just bought the Caldwell " The rock BR" and plan to use it on the front and the tall bunny ear bag on the rear.
Switch ammo when I found that Wolf Target was the bottom grade manufactured by Eley, meaning the lot that produced the most flyers, they sold as Target. What's the point of shooting sub standard ammo ? Then I found out that Wolf Match ammo was the same as SK Rifle Match and the SK served me well years ago so I bought a brick of the Match. It costs $2 more per box of fifty and will be worth it if the heads run straighter.
I lost my last match by 8 shots, this was out of 100 targets and I got 3rd place behind some very good shooters.
Hopefully, with my equipment and ammo upgrade I can do better..
