FWIW I had finally overcome my mental block about shooting. The famous knee high winds.
That morning I forgot to put on my superstitious best shooting boots, and drank a huge cup of coffee on the way to the range. Full leaded coffee.
Shot the 495 in a leg match with no sighters that is the reason for my handle... won the match hands down even though one of last shots at 600 was a nerve shot for a 9, for a 199 finish at 600yards......
I learned then and there...that mental can be overcome, IE buck fever, but you have to practice boht mentally and physically to overcome it. Its(buck fever) the fear of missing or failing pure and simple...
Dry firing mixed with live firing can sure find some hidden issues.
And we never went a day without dry firing almost 30 minutes of offhand. That was to get to the point that I called decent at offhand, not good.
