I regularly see shooters with
rifles set up their targets at
15 feet, and then blast all over the place. Some of them can put all of their bullets almost in the same big hole (between the eyes of the Bin Laden target) at that range, but some of them are all over the place.
One time, I was set up next to a 19-ish year-old guy with his dad and an AK-47. They had their target set up at
15 feet, if that, and couldn't hit squat, if you can believe that. After this kid shot and broke the cable holding up the target
, they moved these guys to a new lane on the other side of me, where they lost the magazine on the range, and the officer had to call for a cease fire
.
I suck at shooting, no doubt, but I'm way better than most of the people I see there. People at my range, on the whole, don't really shoot, they just send bullets downrange. That's why the "groups" at 25 yards don't seem real to me.
