    Very true, indoor smallbore = an equipment and technique/skills drag race, no wind issues. Outdoor smallbore, mmmm back to wind issues. Only did 1 season outdoors and many seasons indoor. At lot of the ranges, now well gone were drafty holes and that included the freezing memorial halls we also shot in. Few pianos up the on the stages had injuries. Not guilty. Gave it away as an A grader at the time the Mt Richmond range got burned down. Just giving smallbore a go for 1 season for the average hunter type shooter has enormous benefits.

    Aperture shooters @ Masterton average 98-99 with a few X's thrown in for good measure.
    Last NDC shoot a couple of weeks ago - we had a number shoot 100's with some 7-9 X's.
    My best (with a scope @ 10x) is 99, 6 X's, these guys regularly shoot 98-99, 6-8 X's with apertures.
    The oldest shooter just turned 70, youngest is early 20's.
    Great practise - and we have a wood stove fire in the 'social' room, with a kitchen and chocolate biscuits too .
    Best way to refresh rusty skills IMHO.
