I expected better groups than that. It looks a bit soulless to me.

Especially when it's nailed to the bench like that...

seems like an excercise in engineerng rather than one of marksmanship !

The skill is still in reading the wind.

Ere Ken....Dyou reckon then that if I was to throw money at it then I could beat the bendy wind at Diggle?
Or would as much practice in wind reading/shooting and time spent on ammo prep and load dev as possible help?
Or we could just use targets that are twice the size...oh, yes, some do dont they :55:
Well someone had to bite

Very good compared to what we do. We mostly shoot Vintage stuff with open sights at 200Yds. Mind you when Chuck appeared with his AI, he could could turn in some pretty good results...Swine... :lol:

Chris you misunderstand my post,

nope if you threw money at it you couldn't just rock up and win tongueout (Hmm not sure that came out right tongueout ) on the other hand at the level you shoot at could you make do with a £100 rifle and £50 scope? as far as I can see, competitive shooting is always going to be a costly business, after all you are trying to get smaller and smaller improvements through engineering out variables and that allways costs, then of course, on the day there are wind changes and enviromental conditions to take into account etc,etc,etc.............
