I would really like to understand what I am doing wrong. I have been trying to improve my shooting skills, or lack thereof. I’m not talking about hitting a fly at 1000 yards, just a nice group at 100. It seems like my results are contrary to what should be. When I shoot a more rapid rate of fire, my shot groups are tighter than if I take slow single or small groups of fire. As evidence the following 4 targets are all recent examples of my range time. All were shot on the same day, POA target center, from a seating bench rest, with my favorite M1icon carbine.
#1 was shot at 50 yards, 15 rounds, slow single fire (shoulder rifle, aim, breath, squeeze, set rifle down, repeat).
#2 was shot at 50 yards, 15 rounds, group fire (shoulder rifle, aim, breath, squeeze, aim, breath, squeeze, aim, breath, squeeze . . . etc. until magazine empty)
#3 was shot at 100 yards, 15 rounds, group fire (shoulder rifle, aim, breath, squeeze, aim, breath, squeeze, aim, breath, squeeze . . . etc. until magazine empty)
#4 was shot at 100 yards, 15 rounds, slow 3 shot group fire (shoulder rifle, aim, breath, squeeze, repeat for 3 shots, set rifle down, repeat 3 shot groups until magazine empty)
Why does it seem that I get better groups, when I use a more rapid pace of fire?
