[QUOTE="bowhunthard88, post: 561090, member: 12575"] As far as a minimum group size, 1 MOA is the absolute minimum in my opinion. On the other hand I think you meant to say 3" @ 300 yds., rather than 3 MOA (MOA is a set number, 1 MOA @ 100 yds. is 1 MOA @ 300 yds.). You also have many variables, especially the wind, and that's only one factor. Then throw in adrenalin, shooting angle, comfortability, steadiness, control (or lack thereof) of the firearm, etc. Your group size is only a very small part of the equation (or hopefully very small :D). I think that one of the best things you can do for yourself is practice, practice a lot. And also try to shoot some tactical based rifle matches, if you're not used to it, it will get your adrenalin flowing and throw some unknown factors in for you. The idea is to push yourself in order to see where your personal limitations are, and then hopefully on an animal you get to take your time, or it's well within your comfortable range. The farther you shoot during practice, the better you will be on game within your "reasonable" range. Good luck, and enjoy. It's an awesome sport/hobby (even if it may be a little expensive at times :D). [/QUOTE]
