I do think my shooting is greatly improved since I've cut way back on the coffee.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

That could certainly be the case when a guy ain't using a rest.
I loaded up heavily on the caffeine this morning so that excuse works!
Also it probably helps to be in decent shape(upper body). The 12oz curls as of late don't do much for a guys strength.

Speed and a light trigger help much offhand I believe. The nanosecond the crosshairs hit the mark I'm slapping the trigger. Things don't get better the longer you hold it.

Not as much as I should, I really need to practice with a handgun. The .9mm were hard to get at one time so instead of wasting ammo I though I would use a .22 caliber Browning Buck Mark. Ammo is cheap and I can use an indoor range that's for .22 caliber only.
I don't like shooting a friends new gun for fear I'll want to buy one!

taking some time off to go over to the range today.. since we just had a storm front thru, that dropped snow and rain..
to try to keep on practice, shows how useless a season winter is...
just something we all have to endure each year.. like one endures a tooth ache or something..
no wonder as people get older they head to Arizona or the like..
the older I get, the less patience I have with working my way around 'winter' each year..

We hunt feral pigs year around. Since I keep the family's guns all sighted in for those and trying new ammo, I get to shoot quite a bit with the rifles. We shoot pistols and rimfires at the ranch year around also.
