From start to finish someone wanting to learn, grow, and accomplish goals needs to pay attention to a few things. These same things help pick rifle, caliber, and hone expectations.

I discuss these in this second episode of the straight dope podcast.

So at the Nightforce ELR match I realized that my kestrel game was yellow belt and needed to level up quick. Each stage I knocked off items and details that improved my score steadily through the day.

One of the discoveries I made was a quirk with wind angle and shooting angle that made a difference if done right and caused elevation issues if not addressed.

Once fixed scores continued to climb and I continued to knock off more details that allowed me to go from somewhere between 60 and 100th to finishing top 10.

For me it was a huge win because I learned a lot and had fun doing it.

Hopefully this helps you is youre shooting at ranges where the details matter.

Inside of 1000 it really isnt much of an issue so I never paid attention.
