When shooting for precision there are a lot of things to think about.
Theres gear, wind, elevation, barometric pressure, the curve of the earth, etc.
The bottom line here is, it can be as complicated as you want to make it.
As a result, hes picked up a few things along the way.
Grant teaches it this way, and it can be really helpful.
Then he likes to get behind the rifle and go through a confirmation process.
So, if there is any resistance from the way you are positioned, fix it first.
Good eye relief is important.
If you see any scope shadow at all, you have to get that out of there.
You are going to have an uncomfortable, miserable time shooting if you see scope shadow all day long.
Once you are framed up on the target, shift the focus of your eyes to the reticle.
You want to focus on the crosshairs as you squeeze the trigger.
You should see the crosshairs in focus and the target just slightly out of focus.
This ensures your reticle is where it needs to be.
I mean, you’re free to, but your group will be awful.
As a shooter, you want a nice even trigger pull to the rear.
That doesnt necessarily mean it has to be slow.
Although pulling the trigger slow helps with that, some amazing shooters can do it on command.
Shoot on Empty Lungs
Breathing is important for distance shooting.
Again, not really helpful.
This throws off consistency, and consistency is what we are all about in the distance game.
The method Grant prefers is to shoot in that natural respiratory pause of our breathing cycle.
Its about being relaxed and having as little movement as possible when that bullet leaves the barrel.
Get out on the range and try some of these out, and happy shooting!
