Does competitive confidence to hold a benchrested/hot/fouled/sighted group together, help you with a single LR hunting shot?
You do recognize that hunting is not formated target shooting?
This is what IBS events would be like If I were Benchrest Supreme Commander for a year:
[The format]
#1 Every shooter CARRIES their entire shooting system(anything they prefer), downrange to set 5 targets at random ranges, & back.
#2 With all shooters back to 'the line' (literally a line on the ground) they get 1 shot each on their 5 targets, over a 1hr period.
#3 That gun(by serial#) is done for the day (no tag teaming guns).
#4 The targets are collected, measured center of hole to center of bullseye, and only the furthest shot from center, in MOA, counts for record.
[That's one relay, with few format rules, on top of range safety rules]
#5 Records are kept and apply toward qualification for major events. If you don't qualify, you don't get in the big bucks tournaments. If in a season your accuracy aggregate drops below the cut, you lose your qualification.
With this, competitors would be exposed to the chasm between hunting accuracy and benchrest group shooting. Then I'll take my golden parachute options & retire, leaving IBS as a sport rather than a spectacle(hey, all supreme commanders do it, so I must deserve it).
If this format stuck around, there would soon be great advancements in shooting as a direct result (rather than what we have today being what we had 50yrs ago).
And eventually IBS would actually be a professional sport, sponsored by those providing needed advancements.
Ok, utopian notion over,,
