    Groups out of a carbon barrel

    A thought: When you shoot 'rapidly' you are probably holding the rifle in a consistant manner over the three shots. When you are waiting 5 to 10 minutes between shots you have moved around so you now have a 'new' hold each time you fire. Yes, no, maybe?

    The dumbest thing you have ever heard

    No one said this thread had to be about hunting, so the dumbest thing was: "YES" when I asked my spouse-to-be to marry me. I am not the finest speciman of manhood on the planet.
