Worst target.

If you shoot 600 yard IBS LG you will understand.
The shots on left side were on T3.
The five on the right in the blue were supposed to be on T4.
They measured .81" just for added misery.

Service Rifle, 300 yd, rapid at the old Tubb Memorial range at Ft Wolters. Put all 10 on the target to the left. 200-12x . Mine 0 with no x's . Neighbor( actually a buddy of mine) still thanks me for the 10's and X's. Bad part it happened in the late 90's but he still brings it up.
 
How about when you've fired three shots at a hundred yards, and none are closer than two inches from each other; and you shoot two more shots just to see what the five shot group will look like.:rolleyes: jd

R700 in .308; fired a group (normally a little under an inch), had to be 2.5 to 3". Gather my thoughts, shoot 5 more, it's larger, despite working on hold and trigger break and all that. Pretty sure my technique was not causing it. Started to check the tightness of the scope rings, and found that 3 of the 4 rail screws had snapped. That kind of explained it.
 
Bad targets, never over look your fire control parts. Alot going on there and just about everyone needs some finesse...
 
Working at a gun range for about a decade some of the targets I have seen from the general public are scary bad.... We have 100-200-300 and honestly we change the 100 backboard a bunch compared to the 300... People can't even shoot minute of deer at a hundred I have seen it... The shots wouldn't even be what I consider a humane kill shot.... Pistol targets at 15 yards that look like buckshot at 50 yards maybe worse... As someone who carries daily those I find terrifying , god help you if they had to shoot at someone in a self defense situation... I would at this point just lay flat on the ground till it was over after seeing them... I am not talking about people shooting the cheapest pistol or rifles or scopes either , I have seen some nice setups with absolutely horrible targets.... The real problem is people shoot once a year maybe twice and think that's good enough... So don't feel bad , I have seen worse.... My club is growing I think we have 700 members this year... But only about 10 percent actually come out on a regular basis.... I can't believe people just don't pay the day fee instead of signing up and not coming out more...
