from the outlandish accuracy claims thread

not outlandish shooting

what is your best , furthest , how many in the group , could you repeat it

my best is 12 rounds under a dollar bill at the 400 yard line of a competition range
I was a little limited on time 4 minutes as everyone else was shooting a qualification , I had already qualified 3 times so they let me do some load testing as long as I didn't interrupt the class.
the qualification standard was timed 10 round runs from different positions some with reload some with out times varied by distance target was the same at all distances.

it was all vertical stringing so turn that dollar bill so it is narrow and tall. I might have even done better but I didn't have much for a rear rest and the front was a bipod not even close to bench rest accuracy.

when you think about that everyone's rifle who claims MOA or Sub-MOA should be doing that or better because it is only minute and a half , that load is fairly consistent at about 1.25moa

3 can be luck , 5 is a little less likely , 10 starts to get a decent sample size

I can honestly say I have never made a shot that wasn't totally possible

I have missed a fair share that were me or equipment.

standing one handed pistol 12 inch steel plate at 100 yards I was good for 9 of 10 hits several times in a row but again really not that spectacular of shooting but they people who don't think it is even possible are no small group.
when it really isn't much different than putting all your rounds in the black on a 50 foot slow fire target

Why would one post it up here just to be called a liar?

All things considered, back in about 1978 or so with a Thompson Center 54 caliber renegade black powder rifle with open sights, a 100 yard five shot group, all five holes could either be covered by, or touching a 50 cent piece.
I had that target for years, it's probably still around somewhere.

This sticky target is the size of a fiddy cent piece. It was done with my .22 @ 327 yards, 30mph cross wind, sun directly in my eyes and I had a really bad toe cramp.

First photo is five arrows. All groups shot at 20 yards with a 65 lb longbow.

I shoot old apples at 30 yards with my bow to entertain my kids don't consider it my best shot but helps with my consistency when hunting

I have a best shot, and a best group, that I will not share here. Maybe next to a campfire sharing an 'adult beverage' but not here.

Y'all are welcome to come see me, I got firewood, and I like cheap Scotch.

Dang Nessy, who shot that, you or Ray Charles?

Shot an antelope at 96 yards with my bow. I could repeat it but ide rather be closer.

I shot the nads off a prairie dog at a 1000 yards and cauterized the wound !!!

All dollar bill is 6 inches..

That was ovah my shoulder with a mirror...at a Rendezvous

Don't ever bet against this guy.

From the bench I shot a 44cal black half and hit a 3 inch round pice of steel.

With ditigal video ...anything is possible

I put 3 rounds on the same target at 25 yards once. Scoped 300 H&H off sandbags and all were on the 8.5 x 11 target.

Used to ignite strike anywhere matches with a bb pistol regularly , Length of the old mans cellar....

Age 12...I shot the ash ,off a lit cigarette...while in the mouth of my drunk neighbor.

15 feet with my BB gun.

Guys have been shooting aspirin out of the air with a bow since before that was invented. Now I could not see that small of a target in the air but some guys can and they can hit it consistently. Just like Jerry shooting a recover reloading and emptying it again hitting his targets faster than guys can empty a semi auto.

Some people can jump high, run fast, throw a ball with speed and accuracy. Many that could never dream they can preform at that level becust they are few and far between. But they are out there.
