Hello hofts,

What, no dime? You were probably wise to stop at three shots. I always feel compelled to fire the full five. It's such a thrill to watch the last two shots fall in there with the first three. Of course, more often than not it doesn't work that way. Anyway, congratulations, nice group. Best wishes.

Cal - Montreal

That's nothing!

I decided that it is always those shots AFTER the first one that ruin my paper groups. I switched to shooting only one shot groups and have found my rifles to all be astonishingly accurate. My shooting seems to have improved a lot too.

I'm trying to find a way to get good groups without firing a shot at all. THAT should make for some very small groups!

L. Cooper, there is a way to get great groups without firing a shot
You'll see this advanced technique on the internet and in magazines, from time to time (or maybe a bit more often). It's a real timesaver, too, you don't hafta spend time at the loading bench or at the range or anything. Not to mention the cost savings in components.....
The trick is this: you use the keyboard to shoot your "groups".
That's how you get every rifle to shoot sub MOA groups quickly and easily, no matter what the range conditions (there aren't any range conditions ).........
