She's proven capable of averaging 3/4" groups at 50 yards with 13.43 grain JSB Monsters from a sand-bagged bench-rest, but it's another thing entirely to abandon the bench-rest for a stool-and-bipod Hunter field target shooting position. However, in the last few days my Hunter position shooting (with pistol and rifle) has suddenly evolved immensely; seemingly overnight.
While I've been very happy with 1.5" nine-shot (full magazine) groups at 50 yards in still winds with it from Hunter position, today I consistently got better than that in VERY gusty crosswinds. Here is the best nine-shot group at 50 yards in very gusty winds from stool and bipod-
That aiming spot is about 1/2" diameter, the penny is 3/4" diameter, the nine-shot group measured barely over 1" center-to-center, the 8 best shots hide completely under the penny, and measured .56" center-to-center. I still can't believe it! But I do have a witness, and do believe I've broken through to a whole 'nother level. Feels GOOD!
