Harrell Measure Techniques

[jdjframes]

Unlike many 6PPC shooters and some 30 cal shooters I am in the camp of Pre-loaders. I have always been a pre-loader and , for the most part, I have done ok with it. This is why, if I were to need to tighten up the accuracy of the rifle, I would need to move the tuner.

Having said that, I have been shooting for fun for the past couple of years. After finally winning the Big Cup one year I decided, for me, there was no redeming value to what was necessary to get there. I backed off and decided to enjoy what I was doing instead of being frantic. I have enjoyed my life a lot more as a result of proceeding that way. I will be 67 in a few days and there is still a lot I want to exerience before I am no longer able to experience whatever it is. I am no longer Driven I guess I am trying to say. My ego isn't that big; never was.

Pete:

"Driven" - interesting word. Seems we must excell at whatever we try, and miss out on the fun of whatever we try. Golfers, fishermen, hunters, trap & skeet shooters, card players and quite possibly benchrest shooters tend to get caught up in the quest for the "perfect something or another" and become consumed by the very thing that was supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable. Soon it is Tums time and we "need" something to relax. I have a job to do and I certainly don't need more of the same pressures in a hobby. At 66, if it isn't fun, don't look for this old boy.
