I put one of my rifles in a large vise, tightened down where it cant move. Set up two dial indicators on magnetic bases. Get the shooter on the rifle. Take a Sharpie, mark two places on the side of their head. Move the indicators to those marks and zero. Shooter gets off the rifle, then back on 5 times. I give as much time between as wanted. Shooter then looks at the entire video to see he was not scammed. Then pays me $500. I haven't lost this bet yet. I haven't had a shooter yet that can get back on both marks, let alone to zero.
We aren't nearly as good at this as we think.

P.S...the bet is good for anyone with some extra cash. Or some gun stuff.


I'm curious: how much difference in group size does it make at 100 yards? If the question makes any sense.


"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
