Default RE: When is it "good enough?"

Then why are you constantly visiting a gun page? Maybe a more suitable page would be some shooting pages to prepare you for whatever. There's a bunch of them out there. Cause most guns will shoot 1.5 to 2MOA. Its none of my business, I am just curious.
Here is the original question:

I was just wondering what level of accuracy and at what range most of you are satisfied with when getting ready for deer hunting? I know some people live in open country and some in dense cover but I guess what I'm getting at is, does it make sense to spend the time getting a 1.375" group down to a 1/2" group shooting off a bench when you could be working on snap shooting and follow up shots at moving targets? I don't think that 7/8" difference is enough to worry about at practical ranges when you take the sandbags away. What do you all think?
Bigcountry- what is your beef with me? I was simply offering up my opinion and we all know what opinions are and what they smell like. By argueing my point and answering the original question, I don't feel that I'm out of place on this gun discussion site.

Part of being a rifleman is being able to shoot it and hit your target under whatever conditions are present. Accurizing a rifle is certainly worth some people's time where longer shots need to be taken in open areas, but for the most part, where I hunt, the longest shots are at 100 yards and most of the time much closer, but with very little time or window of opportunity to shoot. Being able to shoot from a blind from sandbags is an ideal situation,the place where I started hunting I was able to set up that way, but for alot of hunters, its simply not an option.
