5 Tips for New Shooters Getting Into Service Rifle - CMP
This summer at Camp Perry, we went around asking competitors a very simple question:
"What advice do you have for new shooters getting into service rifle?"
We expected many tips on shooting stances, trigger control, sight alignment, even on reloading. What we heard instead was incredibly wholesome advice that applies to every side of competitive shooting - and even to fields far beyond Camp Perry.
1. Learn
2. Don't Quit
3. Stay Calm
4. Fundamentals (practice)
5. Start

00:00 Intro
00:21 Learn
Every shot you take is a learning experience. Fortunately, there's plenty of resources for learning even before you take that important shot; Read, watch videos, talk to your coach. Find a group that's shooting in the style that you prefer, and learn from them. If we've learned anything from attending the CMP games, it's this - people are ready, willing, and able to help. If they can't help you directly, they'll know someone who can help instead. Don't be afraid to ask, and never stop learning.
01:39 Don't Quit
You may hit a wall. Don't let it stop you.
The only way to get better is to continue moving forward. You can't stop striving for more, even when the going gets tough.
03:10 Stay Calm
Go into each shot with a clear and empty mind. While you're up on the line, it's just you and your rifle.
04:20 Fundamentals
With the right mindset in place, be sure to practice. Dry fire, dry fire, and dry fire some more. Build up your foundations as a shooter to maximize the effectiveness of each bullet you send downrange. Dry firing can reveal issues with follow-through and trigger pull that might not be noticeable under recoil. This is especially noticeable when practicing offhand shooting.
05:48 Start
You won't get anywhere if you don't start. Wherever you start at, whether it's at the bottom or somewhere in the middle of the scores, you've got to begin.
