It seems like I forget the lessons each month, but targets don't lie.

To paraphrase a great literary quote,
 "the difference between almost NPoA and the verified NPoA is really a large matter—'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning."

When you lock in, it's magic.

Standing off-hand reminded me of the importance of rest. Each off shot was called, albeit with colorful language preceding the word, "right."  :wb:

NPOA really is magic sauce when properly applied.

Those who know, they know, the others just think they understand.
Old Guy:  Do it long enough and you get really good at it.

Rifleman:  Sacramento:  Four Ought Nine
Full Distance:  Red Bluff:  What year was that?
Pistoleer:  Hat Creek:  Three Twenty One

Make yourselves good scouts and good rifle shots in order to protect the women and children of your country if it should ever become necessary.
--Lord Baden-Powell
