I am attempting to work on my NPOA and it's not going too well. Regardless of position, I can't seem to get stable. Are there any seed instructors in the SE MI area that want to help a brother out? I am in Livonia. I can pay you for your time, range fees, or stuff you with pizza and beer. Or Nicolas BBQ. Or whatever. Just send me a PM, if you're interested. Thanks!

Quick advice: Do daily stretching if your body isn't flexible enough to get a nice, tight position with bone support (losing the gut would be nice, but it takes much longer to see results than daily stretching requires). Once you are flexible enough to assume the best positions possible for you, try "snapping in" - spend some time in position looking at an Appleseed target taped to the wall (scaled for whatever distance you're at). Make sure you have a nice tight sling, and consistent fundamentals (stock weld, sight alignment, proper eye relief, trigger control, breath control, etc.).  When in position, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and relax, then open them. Look where your sights are pointed, and move your body as required to make your sights line up with the center of the target.  Rinse and repeat for an hour if possible.

The Appleseed curriculum closely mirrored how I was taught to shoot at the rifle range in the Marines, if you want more details a .pdf of MCRP 3-01A Rifle Marksmanship is probably available from a billion places online and would be a valuable read.

@lukef Thanks for the advice. You know, I started thinking about the stretching thing and you're right. I cannot get my left arm perpendicular under the rifle. About the best I can do right now is 60-70 degrees. I will start there and work this out for a few weeks.

Pm sent.

Pm'd you back

I must be crazy, I dont see your pm. :(

@Joshka I just saw your reply. I will PM you again.

I'm also in SE Michigan.  Have been an Instructor for 10 years.  Hit me up if you want.

ETA: Tried to send you a PM, your mailbox is full.
