So, I got into this AG hobby dipping my toe into the water. But before I knew what had happened I was wading through it with the water up to my chin....!

I have been reading and learning a lot about the equipment.
BUT....
I have been very weak on the most fundamental issue of shooting — the fundamentals of marksmanship, as some seem to call them.
(Female shooters of course will be using the fundamentals of markswomanship.)


I'm thinking of topics like the following:
▪How to breathe — and when to pull the trigger
▪How to pull the trigger
▪How important is cheek weld really for a PCP with a scope? (I suspect that this varies from instructions for PB with open sights....)
▪How to hold the gun in general. In different positions (free standing, or supported by a tree, prone, etc.).
▪Specifically, where do I put the buttstock of a bullpup — and is that really important since a PCP has very little recoil?
▪What is the really the issue with parallax — if I have a scope where I can adjust the parallax.

However, that "much" seems to be geared to firearms, open sights, scopes without parallax adjustment, or subjugated to particular competition rules and setups....





▪PCP bullpup and PCP rifle
▪For hunting (from quick short-range shots on a stalk — to medium range — to 100y-long range)
▪and for informal target shooting
▪My shots would be often with some kind of support (rock+backpack, tripod, sometimes front and rear bags). But I also need to learn offhand bullpup shooting.
