Smallest 100yrd 5 shot group

My best 100 yd group at a registered match was .080. My best group with a LV weight 308 Winchester was a .108 (that was an exceptional 308, but like most 308's, it was tough to shoot well. recoil was definitely an issue). There is no question, my best groups were always four shot groups! Friends often asked if was wearing a choke collar, as there could be no other explanation for all my errant fifth shots. WH
I always knew, and counted on, my 5th shot to throw out of the group
For years and years
I did not consider myself even "Good" until I started putting the 5th shot into the groups.
maybe some guys have an inherent natural ability to do this without thinking about what they're doing
for me, it took learning breathing discipline, slowing the body's respiratory system and controlling heart rate
Luckily I have a naturally Slow heart rate (42-60 bpm) and when i take a deep breath
...it goes wayyyyy down quickly
Part of breathing discipline is... "NOT" holding your breath, otherwise heart rate quickly escalates and you will naturally tend to hyperventilate to compensate, which just screws everything up and you must start all over again
 
Savage 10T-SR I bought at cabels for little under $500. Slapped a Vortex Gen ll Viper PST 5-25X56 in seekins rings. Did a ladder test and this is what I came up with. Got too excited and pulled left on the last round. BTW this was at 200yds almost forgot to mention that.
