GIO Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 We always here "He's a good shot" meaning someone shows some level of competency with a given firearm. What would your standard be before you blessed someone with the coveted title of "Good Shot" with the following firearms Pistol (auto or revo) Rifle (optic or irons) Shotgun (sporting or tactical) This may be a good one...

ima45dv8 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think there's a long thread (from last year, maybe?) on this around here. I'll see if I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The word "a" in your question really simplifies things. I stopped shooting Benchrest and silhouette because they were boring, even though I was always a threat to win. Add speed to the equation and, at least for me, everything changes. To use the term "a good shot", I might go with: Pistol: 3" group at 50 yards Rifle: 3" group at 500 yards Shotgun: 95% hit ratio However, the hunting fields are really where a shooter proves his competency. The ability to hit live targets at a variety of yardages in a variety of conditions at any time is what I really call "a good shot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
