Default RE: Whats wrong with my rifle?

You won't believe me, but I bet you are flinching...

We have about a dozen guests a year hunt on our farms...Before any hunt I have them check their gun, most of the time they shoot about a 3-5 inch group at 100 yards...I then check the gun and it groups within 1 1/2 inches...I have been known to hand a guy an empty gun, tell him its has a round in it when it doesn't, works every time...

Check all your action screws and scope screws...Stick with the same ammo, even good guns have preferences as to what ammo groups best...Get a better setup then the hood of your truck...

Have you got a life vest for your boat??? Put it on, you'd be surprised how this absorbs recoil...You can never be a good rifle shot if you are anticipating the recoil of the gun...

Finally, wear ear plugs, the sound of a shot also makes one flinch, as well as damages your hearing...
