What size groups at 55y with your WFTF rig?

Curious what’s everyone seeing at 55y with your WFTF rifle? What size avg groups?
No wind. Just best repeatable accuracy.
WFTF PCP rigs only.
Thanks

this should be fun... put each of 20 rigs on the bench and shoot consecutive groups... pictures matter.

My expectation is about a 1/2" 5 shot group at 50yds off a bench. To make it interesting shoot a few 5 shot groups off a bum bag and see the difference

I’m curious how many rifles that can do 1 moa for 5 shots will blow up to 2-3moa for 20-30 shot groups.

I have a feeling it’s most of them.

Depends on conditions either way. Get an 8 mph switchy wind and that .5 goes away.

12
FPE or less , my kind of shooting

This was pretty low wind which is pretty rare here....but a lot of shots from sitting FT position.

Keith what are you seeing from
Your Thomas? XTi50?
I wobble so damn much on a bag lol. That and 50x I’ll be lucky to hit anything at any distance!

Before I went to the Worlds in Mesa I had the opportunity to shoot the Xti-50 in a warehouse out to 55yds. I did put 4 pellets in one hole off the bag at 50 yds with the one pellet about a 1/2" away. It was shooting great from all distances and knew the rifle was dialed in.

I haven't had a chance due to Ohio weather to shoot groups with the Tommy at distance but I'm more than confident that the rifle is extremely capable.

Brandon trust me when I say the more you shoot off the bag the better it will get. Like everything thing else there's a learning curve. You would be surprised how much of a difference just some minor adjustments with your butthook, or length of pull etc will help you. Nothing can replace experience when it comes to setting up your rifle off the bum bag. I like a heavy rifle and most of my rigs end up about 17-18lbs. It's what I like although takes some getting use to shooting offhand.

5 shots, no problem. Add in the oddball fliers that nobody can explain. Even at 50 yards. Move to 25-30 shots at 50 yards and dispersion could easily end up at 2-3MOA. or more. Any of them.

I just wanted to see if 12fpe was just as accurate as 20fpe at 55yds is all.

It seems you’ve asked a great question.

Indoors I would say they’re likely very similar. Outdoors with even a gentle swirling breeze, a 12FPE gun will open up a lot. Not because of accuracy but just wind drift.

I know two world champions that can stack them at 55..

When I shot WFTF PCP or more recent years Attempt it again.
If i can stay on average @ 1" @50y I'm smiling & that even in my prime years was hard to do self supporting.
Now days ... No way in all honesty & why I continue to shoot Hunter PCP
