[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 555049, member: 1521"] Well Greyfox, I can understand how preparing for competition makes you better with THAT format. That, being a fixed shooting gallery. But it's my contention that it's not really relevant to actual hunting. Step back and review all that is completely different between hunting and your egg shoots(15shts at exactly 300yds, off the same rest). Be honest with yourself. Do you carry that equipment in the field? Can you produce .5moa of accuracy under other conditions, distances, cold barrel, field rest(as carried)? Is your hunting system solid (to produce on the spot ballistic solutions dialed or held off)? Does .5moa grouping at 300 even matter for a single 465yd shot? Or a 615yd shot 10mins later? and then a 180yd shot 30min later? If you just discovered these 3 ranges, and shot them round robin a couple times, would you still produce .5moa of accuracy? If so, that's great and I respect it. IMO, a far better accomplishment than fixed gallery shooting, and just the kind of stuff we should be talking about on a LR Hunting forum. [/QUOTE]
