have read this with much interest now as you know i don't know anything about sporting and have never shot anything at longer than trap range but if people say they have done it and measured it then i am sure they would not lie about it however i believe hammy has hit the proverbial on the head as it sounds good luck rather than good management as the pattern must be none existent at that range.
Oddly, I was in fact sober at that time on a Friday night.
What I was cryptically trying to say was that we should take this long distance stuff with a definite sense of fun. As Hammy says, it's all right on the edge and a bit of a laugh at best. Otherwise we will be starting threads such as 'best barrel cam with 8x zoom' . There is a reason why they only stick telescopic sights on rifles.
It's a bit rare..especially in my village.. Saturdays are usually more sober. Got that shooting thing on Sundays, which is a struggle with a thick head..
Did I mention I had quarter/quarter and used 28g 7.5 Eley Olympics? :hunter: :biggrin:
Tee, me old mate you forgot the most important part, when you hit the pair on report you were using the best cartridge Fiocchi FBlu 28g 7.5........ True Story that one, as he had to borrow a box of shells from me, as due to the bad toes, gash on his head the walk to and from the car would have been to much.

Some things are so good they're worth saying twice. Repeatability is what it's all about, when anybody fancies betting on himself hitting 8x10 at will it means it's more about skill than luck, until then keep calm and be lucky.
