[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2081474, member: 8873"] I get guys blaming equipment for misses quite a bit, especially if they fail a qualification that can get them dropped from the course. 99% of the time it is operator error. When a student says his rifle isn’t shooting worth a crap I will have one of my instructors shoot it and then I will, usually things are fine. If not we will check action screws and mounting hardware, sometimes something is loose (operator error for poor maintenance). Then we will sit there and clean the crap out of the barrel. Often times there will be lots of carbon/copper build up, they shoot a lot and often halfass cleaning (again operator error for poor maintenance). Most common problems are misreading wind, not seeing/misreading trace and giving bad corrections when re-engaging (those two go hand in hand a lot), and just poor fundamentals. Always an excuse. However I bet we have a scope or rifle go down every class. [/QUOTE]
