Lucky,a great shot,or B.S.?

I went to the IBS (International Benchrest Shooters) website and looked for the current three gun world record. This is a cut and past copy of a comparable record.

HB-HV-LV 100-200 yds. 3 0.2949 R. Maretzo 8/21/83

Interpreted, that says: three guns, Heavy Benchrest, Heavy Varmint and Light Varmint, shot over 100 and 200 yds, yielded a 0.2949 minute of angle average for R. MARETZO on August 21, 83.

This fellow is claiming 0.250 minute of angle for three guns, with hunting rifles. He should take those three lightweight rifles and hunting scopes to a benchrest match, he could be the new world record holder.

Actually you are reading the scores wrong R maretzo actually shot an average of .2949 " not minute of angle

One thing you guys are not seeing he never stated that he was shooting groups just that they will shoot .5 inch at 200 yards maybe he is shooting one round and they are wobbling............lol

I suppose he can do it off-hand...

.....(calling BS)

I can remember, several years ago, after taking five shots at a target 300 yards away (offhand) there was only one hole in the paper. Browning BLR - .243 - factory ammo. Can anyone beat that?

Ah, that's nothin', I bet I could do it without putting a single hole it......

WOW I'm like sheep I could leave that Target in perfect shape off hand at 300

a 2mph diff in wind will cause 1/2" variation in a 243 or 7mm08 at 200 yrds, thats from calm to calm. a 5mph diff means 1.5" variation. Consistant 1/2" groups I can believe at 20yrds, not 200.
