Mike, I tell people that my first rule of human communication is "That which is heard is often not that which is said." The primary reason for this is that different people use the same words in their own particular way. Sometimes the difference is great, sometimes it is small. And that is why it's important when discussing group sizes to use a measurement that can only mean one thing. Whether that's CTC or "all touching the 10 ring" or some other absolute measurement. All that other gibberish, while fun at times, is just a way of making ourselves look better. Nothing wrong with wanting to look good, or feel better about yourself. But a quantitative measurement takes all the guesswork out of it. And, in the final analysis, whether or not someone else is being totally honest about their abilities or the gun's capabilities has no bearing whatsoever on how I feel about myself or my abilities. Besides, if they are that good, how come we haven't seen them at EBR or RMAC yet? Competition isn't for everybody, but I enjoy reading stories from people like yourself, or that young shooter Dakota, as they prepare for competition. I like seeing people succeed, to whatever level they choose to go. Thanks for the questions you've been posting recently. They are making some of us think a little more, and learn a lot. Keep them coming!
