I've taken to shooting Garand matches in the last couple of years and really enjoy the shooting, competition and fellow shooters.
A few tips (most apply to any long range shooting) I try to remember with each competition are in no particular order:
1. drop rifle slightly after each shot to make sure you are aiming at your target
2. get your thumb out quick, haven't been bitten yet and don't intend too
3. keep the sling tight on arm and around wrist
4. slllloooooowwwwww down on rapid fire, 60 and 70 seconds is a long time, will try stop watch on left wrist in future
5. keep left foot, sitting right handed, pointing at target
6. a little squirt of CLP before start competion
7. ECI & eye and ear protection
8. control your breathing

Any others, I am sure I've left out some pretty good helps/tips.
