[QUOTE="lightwind, post: 522379, member: 30140"] RDM416: You said: "HOWEVER.......... If the above quote were correct and our rifle barrels move .25 to .375 inches before the bullet left the barrel. We would never be able to hit anything at even 100 yards, much less 1000." That quote was from someone who knows a lot more about guns than I do and was talking about trigger lock time. As for that translating into inaccuracy, only if the rifle is moving off its axis as it moves back. I agree that is a long distance, and when I saw it I had to think about it. However, the bullet is moving straight down the barrel so the initial force is directed away from the motion of the bullet. It is only after the stop for the rifle (our shoulders and skeletons) start to push against it that it can start moving in any direction other than straight back. Moving it straight back does not take it off target. The amount quotes is a large amount, but again, it came from someone who seems to be an expert. The straight motion is my interpretation of that but it could be wrong. I see the discussion as interesting. [/QUOTE]
