[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1748699, member: 4235"] KOPBET, that would be a great idea. that way you're squeezing the same trigger as your center fire, which makes for good muscle memory. There's nothing wrong with shooting center fire all weekend... we actually encourage you to do this if you can afford it. If not, a .22 is great. We do most of our shooting at 25m, which a .22 works just fine for. One thing I encourage people to do if they want to qualify with a center fire but can't afford a whole weekend's worth of ammo is to bring a .22 to use for most of the event, and then only bring your center fire out after you've shot Expert with the .22, and try to qualify with it too. If you don't have the fundamentals down well enough to shoot Expert with the .22, it really doesn't make much sense to be burning up center fire ammo anyway. But once you do, it's just a matter of seeing how those same fundamentals transfer over to your center fire. FYI it takes 40 rounds to shoot through an AQT, whether it's the 25m version or the full distance one. The ammo costs saved by shooting a .22 are a wonderful way to justify buying another rifle, which is easily justified to your significant other: "See honey, it pays for itself if I take it to one Appleseed!"
