RE: At what distance does YOUR accuracy fall apart?
I'm a pretty poor shot compared to this group. On a typical day, if I shot a 20-shot group, it'd measure about 5" at 20 yards, 8" at 30 yards, and 11" at 40 yards. I guess my "accuracy" falls off at about 30 yards, which is my max hunting range. IF the animal is perfectly positioned, IF I have a 100% clear shooting lane, IF I have all the time in the world to execute the shot, and IF the animal is completely unaware of my presence.
