[QUOTE="ExSniper, post: 858968, member: 1387"] Practice at short range. Get your technique down so you are shooting as small a group as possible with your gun at 100 yards. If the gun is capable of 1/2 moa and you can shoot 1/2 to 3/4 moa groups then start adding distance. Once you can shoot accurately at shorter ranges it is a matter of learning to read the wind, make the adjustments and apply the proper shooting skills as the range gets longer. If you are shooting 3 or 4 inch groups at 100 yards that means the best you can hope for at 1000 yards would be 30 or 40 inches on a perfect, no wind day (like that ever happens). Most shooters get frustrated because they try to stretch the range before their skills are up to it. Your -06 is probably accurate enough for starters. [/QUOTE]
