Took my PSA 6½ Creedmoor out yesterday, with a new load of H4350 under 140 ELD-X. I put the first 10 slightly under an inch. The next group I had 8 of them in a similar cluster, but one flyer went left, and one went right, making the group 1.99". I was too annoyed to take pictures That's what makes these 2 10 shot groups interestng.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Im bumping this one to the top, so it doesnt get burried. Still one of my favorite threads here. Im hoping some of the new guys or maybe some of us can shoot this with some new rifles we got for Christmas. Theres been some good threads posted lately about some sweet rifles. I'd like to see some entries with those new Larue ultimate uppers, "surprisingly" accurate stags or even some of those PSA 6.5 creedmoors. I see a lot of potential in some of these rifles. I know beretzs is a contender with some skill, as is 4thpoint. If he can get his hands on his buddies Larue OBR with nightforce. This isnt a callout by any means, as i know these 2 guys are shooters. If we are shooting anyway, we might as well shoot some of these targets. They are easy to print up..

LOL. I fire 10 shot groups as fast as the gun recoils and sight settles and I squeeze. Its really not all that hard. Just have to get the brain used to it. Once you focus back to the sights, you really have 3-5 seconds TOPS to break the shot or you should look the shot off, inhale, and exhale and start over again. We shot 10 shot rapid strings in 60-70 seconds in a sling WITH a reload. Starting from standing. Shouldn't really take much, like 1-2 minutes at MOST if you are taking your time to fire 10 shots. Won't take me that long generally with a bolt gun.

Won't take me that long generally with a bolt gun. Good suggestions Jeff. As per usual. Being new to the AR, I still need to do a lot of focusing on how I shoot and remember the fundamentals of good marksmanship.. It's been fun, but I've noticed especially with my AR10 308, if I shoot the way you describe, my groups shrink. It still seems strange, but it's true.. I'm more used to slow fire competition with bolt guns where it's 1 shot every 1 minute or so. Much different than what you are suggesting for shooting the AR platform.. I need to do more practicing, especially with my big AR...

LOL, Tex and Rost, just funning about, I do pull in big air, let over half out, then fire, I still say firing two 10 shot groups says as much about the shooter as it does about the weapons capability.

I shoot my 10 shot groups from the hip yelling Merica!
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The longer you take to shoot, the more your brain can mess up for ya. LOL.
Kind of like trying to squeeze our Glock triggers. Aim, press. NOW. Works way better. Except when the deer decides to step just as you decide press and can't stop your finger... LOL. It worked out cause it was 10mm and we have a good dog that can track em all 50 steps she went... LOL

BTW the way the slow fire 1 or more minute per shot thing... we had that in our competition too.... Considering pit service and some wind changes where I'd hold off a bit, rarely took me more than 12 minutes for 22 shots...
