As always, inspiring and informative. For some reason I'm having a hard time getting motivated for the start of the season; watching this gives me a nice solid nudge in the right direction - thank you.
Thank you Konrad. Another gem. Ive watched this video several times. I have found myself recording data that just doesn’t help that much. This is an excellent instructional. Sure appreciate your insights to this sport.
I appreciate you taking the time to relay this information. I have also been told to use a data book with no reasoning as to why. Your explanation is much appreciated sir.
Hi Konrad! another idea for a video could be things people could do to practice on a daily in their homes. For me, im able to get out to the range for 2 hours a week for practice which really doesn’t seem like that much.
Existing data books had either too much information or not enough. So I created my own pages and have been using them for years. The pdf files are downloadable on my web site.
It's just one of those things that happens every year. Zeros shift and the reasons may be numerous. I try to be as consistent as possible but there are so many nuances to each position. It's plausible that some small things changed and I'm holding the rifle differently or looking through the scope in a different way.
On the rapid data sheets you created, are the plotting lines and numbers in 1/4 minute clicks? For example, if during sitting, you call a center X sighter and the shot hits outside 9 at 3, the adjustment would be about 10-12 clicks left? I can see how this might be easier to keep track of as compared to full minutes and fractions of minutes.
Some shooters prefer thinking in fractions of MOA. For me, it's much easier thinking in integers and simple clicks. This method means no conversion is required to turn a correction in my head into the actual application on the knobs.
Konrad - What interval between shots do you train at for your Rapid Fire Prone and Sitting? You seem to have down pat for prone and use all the time wisely. Thx, FletchMan
Actually I just timed it, so after targets you got shot #1 off at approx 19 seconds and #2 shot 4 seconds later; Mag change and then shot #3 22 sec later, followed by 3.5 second splits all the way to shot 10 where you are out. I am rushing myself and not settling my sights. This leaves tooo much time at the end and gives up points b/c my hold is not tight enough. According to your stat's I can slow down my shot process on the first shots to get a solid sight picture and then get in a 3 to 4 second cadence until I am out. Any other tips appreciated. Thx PS - Starting my 3rd season this year and almost at master.
When training for rapid-fire, the primary goal is to break each shot as best as you can. The secondary consideration is to expend all 10 shots within the time limit. Work on the basics of a stable position, NPA aligned with target, and a smooth trigger squeeze. I think you will find that getting these right will also help you shoot with a faster cadence.
@@konrad1853- Thank you, that I will give that I try. I will shoot a reduced course match this weekend and dry fires with my Scatt, practicing this today.
At 8:55, after firing TWO (2) shots in rapid fire, then changes magazine and shoots EIGHT (8) from the second magazine. Is this legal? Seems to violate the concept.
In NRA Highpower competition you can fire a rapid-fire string with either 2 & 8 or 5 & 5. You are not allowed to fire the entire 10 shot string from a single magazine. It's just part of the rules of the sport.
Nice video Good information for me as a new Rifle shooter. Thank you and God Bless You and your Family
Glad to see you still making videos. This is my favorite channel for High Power content
The score book is the basis for proper shooter/target analysis. Really nice to improve work in progress, especially long range.

Hi Konrad. Thanks for another great video!
thank you for listening to my recommendation, it was much needed for me.
Thank you. This was helpful.

That's pretty simple, dry-fire. Just as good as going to the range without the long drive.
Great information. Are these pages pulled from an existing data book, modified or stock or are they pages you've created?

Thanks for the video sir
Thank you for this sir. What was the reason you were 4 clicks off at the end of the season that you mentioned? Did you ever find what caused that?

@@konrad1853 I see, thank you.

do you live near Milan? Do you belong to the club there?

What do you do for your data out at the 600 target?
I just track my zeros for the 600 yard stage. No need to plot.
