Listen to Longshot's advice. Its golden. He's a pretty fair shot himself, too.
Just one comment about shooting prone - it is the easiest position, and it is really important to work hard on the others. But to place high in the prize list it is more or less a given that a shooter will clean or almost clean the prone stages. Then the trick is to not lose points in the other positions.

Thanks that means a lot coming from you.
 
Some very good advice in this thread.

Bring what you have, and don't be afraid to ask someone you see on the range how well their piece of kit works if there's something you want to know more about. Chances are pretty high that most of us would let you give it a try.

Don't spend more of your money until you've been out to see what/how/etc. I've spent money....lots of money....on stuff that's been "ok" but not the best...I've ended up spending money twice on a number of things...so, save your money, get a bit of experience and see if you can try before you buy.

Something I will suggest is dry-fire training. I do a lot of it.

Anyone interested in a serious, professionally conducted, service conditions training program should consider the 4 days of training followed by a two day match (six consecutive days of shooting experience) offered at the MilCun Training Center, in central Ontario. It will make a difference in your performance.

Hi I was hoping for an explanation on dry fire training. I assume you pick a spot on the wall and squeeze the trigger so as to move the rifle as little as possible from the point of aim? Or is there more to it? Thanks.
 
Out of context this could be taken the wrong way but: Get to know your trigger!
Lol.. But seriously, getting familiar with how your trigger takes up and breaks will help you figure out how to steady your shot and not jerk or jig the gun around. Good luck, Service Rifle is a blast!

p.s. I've heard that GL has a foot fetish... Just saying...
