Practice Small, Hunt Big: The 22 LR Advantage
by Shane Jahn
Proper shooting practice is important before we take to the field on hunting adventures. No matter what we hunt with, rifle, handgun, or bow, quality practice sessions help ensure we are ready when the stars align and the animal we are pursuing steps out to offer the shot.
Our armaments of choice can dictate the levels of proficiency required to accomplish our mission. Hunting from box blinds with a scoped rifle might require less range time if shooting distances are not extreme and a solid rest is available. This hunting method may remove some of the variables that play into making the all-important accurate shot. That doesn’t mean he shouldn’t spend time at the bench to ensure the rifle, optic, and ammunition are dialed in. Practicing field positions is another important piece of the hunter’s puzzle.
