Can anyone point to resources (articles/books/etc) on air rifle practice? Currently most interested in benchrest shooting on bags. (I read a short book on 10M open sight air rifle technique, but it's very specific to that sport and all about posture)
When practicing, how do you decide what do you work on? Assuming the gun is accurate, how do you isolate your own sources of inaccuracy, and then work on them?
Trigger technique? Breathing? Posture? Aiming?
Do you adjust the next shot using information from the last shot, or ignore it?
Stuff like that.
thanks

Those two books look helpful. Also recommend setting up a GoPro to film yourself to view any mistakes, subtle or extreme you may be making.
My 2 cents.

Thanks Dan
Do these apply as well to air rifles?

Unknown, but I would imagine the basics transfer over if you know what I mean.
