[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1498859, member: 30902"] If you're firing 2 quick shots it's no longer a "Cold Bore". Try this. Shoot one. Go away. Come back later. Shoot again. Reapeat for a total of 3. That will give you a true cold bore comparison. Spread those shots by at least ten minutes. If you want, then just try a normal group of 3 at a liesurely pace. Compare. Now, simulate an actual hunting situation where the first shot misses or otherwise fails to anchor by firing one, then two in quick succession like you would on an animal running away. If your normal 3 shot group shot leisurely is beter than your previous quick two shot groups, odds are it's the user hurrying the shots. You can also do the 3 quick several times and compare to your normal 3 and the two shot groups. There's no reason a leisurely 3 shot group should not be tighter than anything you're shooting quickly. Groups do not get better with speed. [/QUOTE]
