Yep your feet, remember Todd talked about when setting up, to point your strong side foot at the target?

Riflery: Relax your muscles, close your eyes, then open them and peer through the sights. Where you find the crosshairs or the front post is the natural point of aim. Adjust your position so that when you do this exercise, you find the target under the crosshairs or sitting atop the front post.

This stops you from ‘muscling’ your rifle, the main cause of inconsistent shooting.

Same thing for pistol – close eyes, raise gun, open eyes and see where the sights are, adjust feet, repeat until you’re consistently on the bulls-eye / center of target.

Note: don’t change your grip or else it all has to be redone (if you’re a perfectionist). Watch olympic pistol shooters – they rest the gun on a table but don’t let go. If they do, they check their NPA when they pick it up again and adjust as necessary.

G. David Tubb covers this and more in detail in his book, “Highpower Rifle”. As the title suggests, it’s oriented toward highpower competition, but it transfers well to general riflery.

I understand what the article was conveying, but I still feel obligated to say it:

Ur doin it wrong!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
