It probably is the converted 22 rimfire rifle of the one that runs off of compressed air. That would be the purpose of reaming out the base nocks. For that matter is it real? Does anyone really care?

It's real, guys. The site owner goes by Matthias 72 on Excal forum, this is off of his Italian site which has all kinds of good info at the following link:http://www.cacciaebalestra.altervista.org/ It's also where Sproul got his 2" group info, however he neglected to say the average group size was 5.5", so there had to be some 8" stuff involved to get a 5.5" average. They used inserts in lieu of nocks to increase foc, and I'm fairly sure from the speed listed on the rest of the data, these were shot out of an Emax.
He also hassome impressive 100 yd groups, and somewhere or another I've seen the custom buitl scope mount that tilts the scope for rough adjustments to shoot these long range target matches. It's mostly Excal stuff, but the winner of their last long range match was shooting a Horton.
Getting groups like that out at the longer distances are not new. Back in 1987, a few years after I purchased my Relayer, I was getting 2-3" groups at 60-65 yards, freehand. But just because you can soot accurately out that far on a fixed target, (the target will not move) does it mean you will hit where the arrow should on an animal because the animal can move before the arrow gets there.
The scope moount that awshucks is talking about is based on old time rifle style. They have elivation clicks on the front that lifts the scope to be able to achive crosshairs on the greater distances.
Nope! Done with the wrong kind of bow,; but, I'd bet he'd be very interested in the new stype bow!
