[QUOTE="outlaw45, post: 526579, member: 6077"] When you say your friends tried to shoot it and also got a first shot flyer, was it after a cleaning and on a cold bore too? I would suggest dry firing 5 - 10 times before you shoot your group. Setup and prepare as if you were actually going to shoot for your group. Pretend as if it's the real thing, but only a dry firing. When everythings good to go like natural point of aim, sight picture is clear in the scope from edge to edge, pulling straight back on the trigger, and breaking the shot at the bottom of your breathing cycle, then load a round and fire a group. Most of the time its mental or shooter induced. If its the temp of the barrel that affects the shot, then you would expect every shot to be consistently different because the barrel in always getting hotter. After the first shot is fired and the round goes 4-6 inches off target, lets say high, and then the second shot is fired and hits the bullseye, you would expect the third shot to be lower because of the barrel is still heating up. All subsequent rounds would follow in a line. Not trying to say you're a bad shooter but my experience is that dry firing helps. [/QUOTE]
