Thread: More 3 shot group fun!

Even though this 5 shot group ran a tad over 0.8 MOA we all had a tough day in a difficult wind with some of us (me included) not able to make a hit on the 1.0 MOA plate at 400Y and 600Y. In fact there was only one 0.5 MOA plate hit at 400 across about 10 shooters and none at 600.

In my view shooting at 0.5MOA plates is a bit of a waste of time - hit probability is well below 100% at any distance or conditions, making it a game of chance to a large degree. You can do everything perfectly and still be unlikely to hit. That isn't a good situation for learning.
