Thread: An accuracy challenge

Being able to hit at random distances with a single shot is very, very difficult, especially as those distances increase in randomness.[ if that is a word]
I have seen esteemed members of this fine establishment miss first shots at under 300yrds with rifle and scopes combinations that will shoot 5 shots under an inch at 100.I have also seen these same guys take first shot kills out to 500.
To me, shooting good groups is basic, it must be done at a nominated range, mostly at 100yrds, to enable the shooter to have confidence in his/her ability and the ability of the rifle. Confidence in your rifle and your own ability, is to me at least 80% of the equation.
The harder 20% is reading the wind on longer shots.
