Thanks Guys...great stuff..
I guess I am a natural...I didnt know I was doing pretty close to the right way....a semi taco hold over the hood. I have been shooting my .22 exactly like that but over the hood of my rig...just seemed to make sense to me for accuracy...and I was talking to a guy in a gun shop today that shoots competition and he also told me to NOT start with the higher power scopes....he said after a certain X you start to LOSE accuracy and that I would be good to start with a 3-9. These guys dont use rules much. I asked him if they are shooting freehand or bolted down, or sand bags, and he said the bunch of guys he shoots with are 'anything goes'...whatever it takes to get the most points. Get this...he said their best shooter is using a Ruger 10-22 with about 800 dollars of improvements. Sonds like a natural transition for me. First I learned to shoot...then I learned to get meat in the freezer...now I am interested in learning to shoot 'better'. The end result should definately turn into more meat in the freezer via better shot placement, more humane kill, less tracking, and a lot less time and work in general. Thanks guys.
