| If You Shoot 22 Rim Fire, Make Sure You Have A Bottle Of Whisky Handy!! | Login/Join |

I was talking to a good friend of mine in the US the other day. We got to talking about the strange things that happen when one shoots 22 rim fire for accuracy. He told me one of the best shooters has told him once that the most important thing to have while shooting 22 rim fire is a bottle of whisky handy. As one will need it! Now, what do people like me who do not drink do?? | ||

I quit drinking long before I tried to shoot a .22 very accurately. Good thing! NRA Patron Member | |||

I went to a smallish rimfire benchrest shoot this morning, drizzle and switchy winds. Perhaps engage in a little meditation... TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right. Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906) | |||

Saeed, do you realize that people who do not drink feel as good first thing in the morning when they wake up as they are going to that day...? | |||

ISS, I probably have no more than 6 or 7 redbeers (nothing else) a month on average. Does that qualify me as a drinker, non-drinker, or just plain LAZY? J | |||

Alcohol is a depressant. If you are a serious student of 22 rimfire accuracy, you may well be depressed enough, without chemical assistance. Something to cheer you up may be more useful. Perhaps meditation, prayer or sex. | |||

Yep!22 RF BR shooters spend 1/3 of their time finding a load(then buying all they can afford);1/3 shooting matches;1/3 looking for a load when they run out of #1.Not only lot# but machine# matters. Then again at our last box bird shoot 54chaps paid $750 entry fee for 30 bird race+$10/practice bird+$150compulsory money.Whose crazier??? | |||

I meditate and pray for sex all the time and it hasn't helped my shooting one bit. All We Know Is All We Are | |||

The bottle of whiskey can add to my chances of winning. I'd go around with the bottle a handful of small plastic cups and offer any and all a couple fingers.

I dont think waterman was suggesting that praying FOR sex could somehow improve our shooting..  | |||

If your prayers were answered with positive results, perhaps improved shooting would not be so important. If your prayers are not answered with positive result, perhaps the answer is to be more diligent when practicing your shooting. | |||
