[QUOTE="Huntnful, post: 3057906, member: 116563"] I think the point is that despite your level of accuracy, your chance of missing because of the wind is FAR greater than because of your group sizes. He wasn’t trying to convince people they don’t need accuracy, but that legit practice in field conditions is more important. Sitting at a bench shooting bug hole groups at 100 yards, and thinking you’re going to go in the field, with zero field practice and wind calling, never setting up a stable position in the mountains, laying on rocks and at steep angle with adrenaline pumping, and think your tiny group rifle is going to make up for it, isn’t going to work. You're also not an “average” shooter lol. And everything is base A LOT on intended yardages. If you plan to shoot 1300 yards, you’re stuff better be dialed as best as possible, and then you better be willing to accept it when you miss the wind call and hit an animal in the *** and need to track them and kill them. If you want to kill out to 500 yards, your stuff just needs to shoot well, and most of your time should be spent practicing at those yardages in field conditions. [/QUOTE]
