    haha Brads, it's an acquired taste

    similar type scores for individual (at the top end). for open sights it is not uncommon to see the top guys doing sub 2 MOA (50.nn) with more than 5/10 of those shots being sub 1 MOA.

    The americans use a different scoring system (coz they are special ) their 10 ring in F is effectively 1 MOA, and the X is 0.5 MOA
    We use ICFRA scoring, so 6 ring is 1 MOA and V is 0.5 MOA. So an american 100.10 is about the same as our 60.10.

    coached shooting is actually quite relaxing for the shooter, because all you concentrate on is letting off a perfect shot each time. you can stay in position during the entire string. if you do your own wind calls, you often have to look behind you, shift around etc.

    in the uk you apparently shoot round robin, so single shots - shooter 1, shooter 2, shooter 3. this means that each shot is effectively a sighter and you really need to be on top of wind calls. it would be something to consider here, because rapid fire does tend to favour one competitor above another. at some of the ranges here, especially seddon you can go from calm to flip-flop wind that is enough to miss the entire target if you don't correct in 15 minutes.
