[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1869095, member: 87243"] I agree, called fliers are one thing, IF they don't consistently happen. If you shoot 5 groups, and you pulled at least one shot in 3 out of the 5 groups, then you should count it as your ability, because if you have a tendency to pull shots, that is part of your ability until you can remedy it. The rifle may be capable of much more, but that doesn't really matter. Example: I know a good track hoe is capable of popping the cap off a beer bottle with a good operator, but I sure couldn't do it. I'm capable of making an oddly shaped hole, thats about it. Flyers where shooter form was good, the shooter is a proven shooter, the shot had no obstructions, and everything felt consistent and it is somewhat of a "surprise" to the shooter, that comes down to the firearm system, whether it's the rifle, optic, or ammunition, and should also be counted in the group. The exception is something along the lines of you shoot 9 - 5 shot 100 yd groups, all .3"-.4", and on your 10th one you wang chung a trigger press, and before you even look you know you hit low left, and you look, and your shot is low left, where you anticipated. This isn't an exact formula of course, just an example. In that case, that gun/shooter is a solid .4" shooter. All of this is my opinion, of course, ha ha. [/QUOTE]
