Gil,

You make some good points and rattus58 does as well, as usual. I would agree with rattus and ask the guy to come to range next Saturday to shoot some of those groups. Take your spotting scope and observe his shooting technique, you may learn something. What caliber T/C does he shoot and is it cap or flint? Is that patched ball or conicals? How many shots per .375" group?

One thing I will say, we all get a tight group now and then and they go into the shooting journal. As for "always getting 3/8" groups," I would like to see that done in view of light conditions, wind, powder lot variances and shooter error.

Adam
