Guys,
Off a bench my xbolt will easily hold just under an inch. My buddy and I did some shooting from field positions (off pack and sitting off tripod) yesterday, prepping for Idaho elk. Most of our shooting was at 300 with a little bit of wind. We were shooting at a 5 inch gong and probably hitting 1/3 times. Our misses appeared to be close misses.
I was pretty peeved at myself at first but then considered a 1 inch gun would have a 3 inch group at that distance, leaving only 2 inches of wiggle.
At that distance, how close are we? We are accustomed to shooting 150 pound whitetails.
