OK, when you (good) Highpower shooters go to the range to practice, what's your routine?
Due to time constraints, I usually get out to the range sometime in the week prior to a match. I'll work on the offhand portion first, since that's my weakest target. Normally, I'll get about 20 rounds off in practice (taking my time and resting quite a bit).
I'll then drop to prone and shoot just enough to confirm my zero and make sure I'm hitting where I should be. I follow that with ten rounds (2 then 8) of rapid sitting, repeating that again if I have time and/or if I didn't shoot the first string as well as I liked.
That's about it. I go home, clean the rifle and check my gear, then put everything away until the match.
BTW, I just got one of the Creedmoor data books, which I'd like to start using for the next match. Looking through it, I understand all of the fields. However, WHEN do you actually use it? For the slow fire stages, do you actually fill it out as you shoot, or once you are done?
