Next season

[Don McDowell]

That's one thing I really became aware of shooting those NRA matches this year. While some might disagree, one of the best things you can do after you find your load is shoot and shoot a lot. Unlike a gong shoot where a half bullet on target is a hit, in the paper matches it's going to be either a miss or a 5, 5's don't build score very fast.
Load and shoot, load and shoot, and don't wait for bluebird conditions, pick a day to do your weekly/biweekly practice and hell or high water you shoot on that day in the conditions you have.
