I probably hit most spindles in the 7 ring on "verification" shots.
Yes the wind did change that much you idiot... grins

We use 1 1/4" spotters for 600 yard F-Class. I have an uncanny knack of hitting the spindle... when the spotter is in the "9" ring.
Hey, at least you are being consistent.

qualified by shooting a 4" group at 500 meters using an FN rifle in 7.62 Nato with open peep sights. Sounded like a feat of remarkable marksmanship. I could see a scope sighted rifle off bags on the bench doing that kind of grouping, but open sights and prone position left me wondering on the feasibility? Was the rifle a FAL (L1A1)? Lots of different FN rifles. The differences are important. Is the group possible with a FAL? Yeah, one lucky group. Likely? Probably less likely than getting hit by lightening. The FAL is a nice battle rifle, but it sure isn't an AR nor is it an M14.

I'm going to say yes, it's possible and probably consistently doable.
