Hunter vs Standard

Post by Kujones »

Which rifle do you shoot better? Is the Standard Rifle really more "competitive" or easier to shoot than the Hunter Rifle?

Same for both, but I score better in Standard because we shoot that first.

I do as well but I'm pretty sure it's because we shoot Standard first then Hunter second. I've been Master class in Hunter rifle for quite a while now but can't seem to get there in Standard. It doesn't help that the bar for Standard rifle is 34 while Hunter is 32.

My scores are close to the same in both Standard and Hunter using the same rifle. Oddly with a slight edge to Standard scores and 10 in a rows are three to one in favor of the Standard class. In my case I have attributed the difference to mental. I started a decade ago with my interest being a Hunter class shooter and Standard as a practice match for Hunter. Mentally my approach to Standard has been more relaxed resulting in a little more success over time. Obviously a mental lesson I seem slow to learn.
