Tack Driver Stats! Stats! & More Stats!

I knew about the target size and was not thinking about scores at all. I guess I was thinking perhaps someone shooting really well would be able to do them both well, mebby not so the question.

All it takes is one bad shot in either one. But the winners in the grand have shot well in both

Looking for a tactful way to ask this question and don't know if I will achieve that so here goes. Why doesn't good Group Shooting translate the same into Score Shooting? Is it just a different day or some other reason? I have only shot in one sanctioned Group match during my 25 years of shooting so don't really know anything about it.

I asked the GREAT Wayne Campbell the same question. How can you shoot a 1/2 inch group and not get it in a 1" circle? Maybe he will enlighten us on this! LOL

Shooting group is kind of like shooting score, but not quite. Your first shot is a gimmee. You just try to hit it four more times. If you throw a shot, you fill in. In score, it's much the same, but you must place that first shot on center. The bottom line is that every form of shooting competitions has its own challenges. As to why a great group shooter might struggle with score, I don't know. I consistently shot big groups and low scores, so I was all about consistency. WH

Thanks Bart. Rifle is a Stiller S/S Viper action. NF Br42 scope. Stock is handmade laminated wood. Rifle weighs about19 or 20 pounds.
TD1 it was sort of a 6GT barrel. A chamber we called 6 Duke. Virtually a Gt but made the brass from 6.5x47L. PITA to make.
TD2 was a straight 6BR. Shot pretty well but the weather ate me up.
TD 3 was a real 6GT and it shot well. However, earlier in the year I suffered Macular degeneration in my right eye and I shot TD 3 left handed. Awkard but thats life.
TD4 was again a straight 6BR but with quite a few rounds thru it. Just did not get my 6BRA barrel up and running in time. Also got lost on Sunday and just did not recover. I can again shoot right handed but the visual acuity is not quite what it used to be. Again, such is life. I thank the Lord that at 80, I can still shoot.
Looking at the stats, two things jump out. My score performance has sucked. Also, it looks like the overall level of competition has improved where as I did not keep up. But I will be at TD5 ready to give it another go.

Thoughts on the 6GT?

Thoughts on the 6GT?

The gt shoots well but probably not well enough for this game. Nice cartridge though. They are all fun to shoot.
