if you asked a bunch of FTR shooters what a "competitive score" in NZ is, most of them would probably say 60.xx, which of course is slightly optimistic

If you can shoot consistently in the 2's & 3's then that's competitive, 0.200" & 0.300", remember that translates to 0.400" to 0.600" at 200 yards

That's 5 groups of 5 shots at 100 LV, 200 LV, 100 HV & 200 HV

Obviously less is more but much much harder than internet heros would ever imagine.....

This isn't a very representative set of results to post to be fair for two reasons, first there were only South Islanders there as the North had a shoot at Tokaroa & second the Gentleman that won broke 3-4 national records doing so, he shot exceeding well, hope he can do the same at the worlds



It is extremely easy for a bad group or two to really ruin your weekend
