THE CAST BULLET 5 SHOT 100 YARD HALF INCH AGGREGATE HURDLE IS ALIVE AND WELL

Joe,

I have just checked the results for the last two years and see that your numbers are for 5 shot groups at 100 yards -- the easiest measure.

For those who consider ten shots as the proper number of shots the hurdle is at about .75 for four ten shot groups at 100 yards.

Putting your graph into words. On average less than two shooters per year manage to shoot four 5-shot groups at 100 yards smaller than .5 inches.

And the figures above are for custom built guns usually costing several thousand dollars and a field full of wind flags.

For factory or military rifles (CBA Production, Hunting Rifle, or military) the barrier seems to be about 1.0 inches for four five shot groups at 100. There are a few aggs below 1.0 inches but an inch agg will usually get you the win.

Some may point out that our records are much lower than the figures above. But a record doesn't represent reality but a rare event.  No CB shooter can do on a pre-selected day. That argument is in the category of a thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters writing a Shakespere play in ten years.

Thanks for taking the time to compile your graphs and remind us of reality.  It's sometimes hard to remember with all the claims being made.
