Interesting Way To Target Shoot

[SmallBoreSnipers]

I have not done this for competitions of course. Only at 50 yards, and only for group size. I am trying to fit 25 rounds in less than an inch. So far I have a group size of 1.24". When I really have pumped a lot of rounds into the little circle I use as a target, it gets harder and harder to see, and then makes it more difficult to be accurate. So, what I have done is made 1 red dot on a target, and then made 1 more red dots exactly 2" to the right of the other one. Then, I adjust my scope so that when my reticle is dead center on the left dot, the rifle fires dead center on the right dot. I hope you're following me. Basically what that gives me is a new fresh red dot to sight in on every single shot. Might be dumb but I thought it was kinda tricky. Anyone ever hear of this being done before?

Ever seen the benchrest targets with an aiming point above the actual target?

It keeps you from eating away at your aiming point.

So it is practiced. Cool. I never noticed. I'll have to check out those targets.

Varmint Al's site has some of these:

Here is one setup for .22lr benchrest @ 25/50 yards:
