Thread: What could cause this?

typically vertical dispersion is inconsistency in how you control the recoil ie holding tightness inconsistency grip/or butt pressure ect
horizontal dispersion is grip and not lining up directly behind the rifle

thats pretty good shooting regardless so it could just be adjusting between rifles

if you want to get really serious about it get someone to film you shooting then you can really pick apart what you are doing

Was going to suggest this - it's real hard to critique someone's targets like this when there could be a LOT of different factors at play... In all honesty it's almost no point in looking at the targets and offering up ideas without seeing the shooting end of things. The 'group diagnosis' diagrams are good but assume that all factors at the firing point are correct and controlled, and most of the issues are human factor not at the target end!
