That group in the upper photo may look nice, but to me the best group is the first, which was covered up by the stick on target. This morning, i was able to peel the paper off the cardboard, and photograph the backside; shown below.
The three holes through only one paper are the first three shots from the rifle yesterday morning. The first shot from a cold squeaky clean barrel, furthest left, groups right in with the second and third shots, and that is why, to the hunter, it is the 'best' group.
