learning curve
yesterday I shot at a local match at atglen pa. and believe I found an improvement for a steadier hold.
having just shot my second score to move into A class 2 weeks ago at Harrisburg in hunter rifle I was still looking to improve on what has been working so far.
the morning match went ok for my first relay shooting standard rifle 24/60 which is normal for what I have been shooting lately,my second relay for hunters rifle went poorly,mind you I am shooting the same gun in both 16/60 was my score(not pleased) rather confused at this point
as the afternoon match began one scorecard was starting to look like it was going south real quick again and I needed to find what adjustments could be made to improve the steadiness of my hold,it was not until my last bank of animals for both relays(pigs) that I tried pulling the rifle in tighter to my shoulder that also pulled my supporting arm tighter to my chest that I saw WAY less wobble,scorecard liked this,11/15 and 12/15 for my final relay, saved the day and actually gave me my first leg into AA with a 32/60
gotta love this game

Re: learning curve
I shot Harrisburg club years ago when working in Maryland. Nice facility great shooters and competition. Competition will make a better shooter faster
B or rising A class shooters it's generally a case of two steps forward one back each time shooting a little better. Couple of high scores shows you what's possible, next step is repeating what you did right.
Best training tool for a new shooter is a diary. Detail on your misses, were and why. Analyze misses and figure out how to avoid them. Advice I got when starting was "you will learn to hold your rifle steady, until then scores will come from not making mistakes"
