I finally got picked to shoot the ASC Spring Match. This'll be my first time and need advice... Anything from gear to garments to packing would be great to hear.
Thanks!!!
Thanks!!!
Yeah, as you know, you've gotta practice what you suck at. The most important thing with setting up for positional shooting is your NPOA - natural point of aim. Practice looking at your target as you get into position, so you learn where you should be going. Get right and don't settle for less. If you looking the wrong way, getting on target is a precision-killing strain.Always a good read Ed, thanks for posting.
If time allows this year...I'd like to shoot some fun matches at peacemaker...positional shooting is really hard for me, which means I need to practice more!

...Bring food/snacks and water. Don't fall for the protein bar myth - it takes about an extra quart of water and several hours to metabolize one of those, and you won't have either one. I eat a good breakfast, pre-hydrate as much as possible, then carry a few sugary snacks with plenty of water. I have used a CamelBak and just plastic water bottles and there isn't much difference in most cases. The Camelbak is much more convenient on the move, allowing one to drink while walking and without opening the pack...
Good Luck!!
