Chuck Hawks is dead wrong. With a 1/2" MOA rifle I have a 1 " group at 200. If I make a 3 MOA mistake I now have missed by no less than 5 nor no more than 7 Inches. I hit vitals in the whitetail if only barely. If I have a 3 MOA rifle and I miss by 3 MOA, I might have a dead hit. I might also be 12" away from point of aim and flat miss the animal or the kill zone. If Chuck is right, we all need to get very inacurate rifles and hope the bullet strays toward what we intended to aim at.
