Thread: Shooting for "groups"

This makes sense. I do not find it to be an issue in practice because firstly, I do not tend to shoot more than 5 shots into the same roundel; and secondly, if you are shooting 22LrRfrom 50meters, chance of all shots touching each other all the time is pretty low as the NZHS challenge has shown. You will need really good gun and ammo for that to happen.

But I accept that other people can see it as an issue big enough warranting the off-centre shooting.
