Is NPA "natural point of aim"? Yes. I have read and need to re-read "The Ways of the Rifle" and I do try to go through a checklist. In that sense, it is much like golf, lining up with your feet first, making sure all the posture is right, relaxing all the muscle groups and trying to "melt down" just a bit, breathing doing my airrrrr gunzzzzzzz mantra, etc. But this I know: tall shooters are at a disadvantage compared to short shooters when it comes to standing, off-hand shooting. And I am making myself learn to shoot lefty. I am a natural right hander, but my left eye is dominant, and my visual acuity is much better on the left, so I can only shoot diopter sights lefty. Matter of fact, the Walther LGR-U is the first LH rifle I have ever owned, and it took a bit of courage to actually invest in a quality LH target rifle. All my air rifles are new since last April. I am a relative air gun rookie, and I have been sticking to models with ambi or semi-ambi stocks for the most part. I can shoot RH with a scope if I close my left eye, but I have pretty much committed myself to becoming a LH rifle shooter at this point. Good exercise for the brain, I hear.
