If I hold a 2.6" group at 200 yards I feel good about it. This at 1000 is amazing.

Extreme novice regarding long range shooting, how much of this is skill and how much is luck?
I realize this dude is a badass shooter, but with that kid of range, certain variables have to come into play you can’t control. |

Obviously he won. Conditions are important (wind), but that is mostly skill with a little luck IMO. |

I realize this dude is a badass shooter, but with that kid of range, certain variables have to come into play you can’t control. Having a lot of skill makes you lucky. Putting ten in that tight at 1000 yards is way beyond luck. [ETA] Just having a gun and ammo that can do that is remarkable. This is really fucking phenomenal shooting. |

Every bit of that gun and ammo have an effect on group size. I'm sure he loads his own and tests the hell out of it. That group is amazing! |

That’s not luck, but if you look at horizontal versus vertical dispersion on that group then either wind conditions were very calm, or at least consistent and the shooter has incredible wind reading skills. Either way that’s excellent and the result of a lot of discipline and trigger time. That will probably be a record for a long time. That group is like magic squared.

Just read that article and I would like to sit down with that guy and have a conversation over a beer.
In the Q&A Greer said that he would like to compete in the Nationals but isn't ready this year but he might be ready next year. If the guy that just set the all time 1K record isn't ready for the Nationals then who is? |

I could do that at 200. If I shot that group at 300, I'd be taking pictures of it and feeling darn good about myself.

I’ve shot exactly 1 benchrest match.
It wasn’t my cup of tea, but I thought the heavy gun division was awesome. This guy confirms it. |
