That group is close to 1/2 MOA with a .32 caliber cast bullet at approximately 1200 fps.
Tom and wife Sylvia are both excellent shots.
From what I was told there was a few glasses of scotch involved in the brainstorming of this project!
Tom told me that the bubblegum is actually epoxy, and the wire is there for effect of course.
The fact remains that as you stated Ralph, both Tom and his wife are super shooters!
