New postal?

I believe that your new technique, moving the elbow to alter the POA, is the
best way to go.  One only needs to move fractionally to get on to the aiming
bull, and not having one's concentration disturbed by differences in lung
volume is also important.  Now, in kneeling where the right elbow (for a RH
shooter) is free of the ground, this technique is more problematic.  On ranges
where the targets are at a fixed, rather low height, I often have problems
bring my POA onto the lowest row of bulls (#s 8, 9, 10, if you follow the
printer's numbers.)  Since my kneeling position is built around my body shape,
solutions like lengthening the sling, raising the kneeling roll, or leaning
forward more cause their own problems.  If anyone out there can suggest 
something, I'd like to hear it.

Good shooting,

Hi Henry,
	You write that you lost your Prone title, but didn't explain
how. Maybe you just misplaced it?  :^)
	For your goal - which gold? If 3-position, then get that tripod
if it bothers you that much, or get on with it & do without. Use a chair,
table, music stand, light stand, etc.
	Excellent competition in both air & 3p can be found in the USA.
Contact USA Shooting AND the NRA for match listings. You could shoot as
a guest even at the USA Shooting Nationals (right now, in California),
as well as many others. Come out to Camp Perry, Ohio for NRA Conventional
matches. Use your UIT gear & compete along with former & current Olympians.
	Travel to as many matches as you can. Unless we live in
Colorado Springs, very few of us can find elite level competition
close to home & easy to get to.
	PanAm Games in your hometown? Sounds like fun!
		Good Shooting,  Paula  FERMILAB  lambertz@fnal.gov

Move your arm... Keeping the breath pattern is too important to alter it 
to change the position.

Hi Michael,
	I find that I adjust height (especially in Prone) by scooting
back (or forth) slightly, pivoting on my forward elbow. Moving the other
elbow in & out will also change height, but it will also change your
natural point of aim in windage. Then you'll have to recorrect for
that too.
	Even though the movement is small, I don't like the idea of
using breath control. Since consistancy is the whole point to this
sport, I'd rather establish ONE comfortable breath holding "standard"
regardless of what bull I pointed at.

Been toying with the idea of doing a postal for my college team this year.
Last spring I contacted several other schools outside the US (whomever I
found on the web) about such an activity and there seemed to be some
interest so I will probably do it if I have the time.  I was asked by
another list member about doing one with Rose-Hulman, so I thought I would
ask everyone, regardless of whether they were in college, if they'd be
interested in joining in.  Our team shoots smallbore at 50 feet and air
rifle at 10 meters.  You could shoot at whatever distance is customary for
you AS LONG AS your targets conform to the standard UIT dimensions (or
approved reduced versions for shorted distances) at the distance you shoot
from.  It would be free, simply e-mail the scores.  So any takers?
