[QUOTE="Axl, post: 1938531, member: 90110"] The "shoot through challenge" was something Bryan Litz from Applied Ballistics came up with in 2015 or so. Here is a quote from him on the subject of the first target affecting bullet flight: It's been well established that screening groups in this way does not affect their flight in a signifficant way. Prior to spark ranges in ballistics labs, they used 'yaw cards' to record the orientation of bullets in flight. Some set ups had the bullet passing thru dozens of these cards, and their presence did not alter the flight dynamics signifficantly. On all of my shoot thru targets, it's evident that the 'shape' of the group at 300 yards is a direct 3X enlargement of the group at 100 yards. If the paper were deflecting the bullet, this would not be the case. [/QUOTE]
