The Straight DOPE Chris Way

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.

Parallax can have you missing and scratching your head about why.

The week of errors continues with a focus more focused on teh shooter induced side of things.
Hopefully it gives you something to think about.

Thanks for listening.

Trying to talk about gear issues and what I have seen.
I think diagnosing gear issues can be overwhelming if you continue to shoot rounds and try to "test" by fire rather than thinking through what could cause the problem and look there before shooting.
Its not always easy, but more often than not it requires less shooting thank you think.
I kind of ramble, but most of you are used to it?
thanks
next will be the shooter.

This week I will be talking about poi issues, misses, and stuff as it relates to the shooter or the shooters gear. I think that we have a visceral reaction and tend to lean one way for the other - but with experience we learn to blend and troubleshoot. So lets identify then troubleshoot through the eyes of the "its me's" and the "its the equipments"
