    My misses inside ~400 were "the dumbs", excluding the sitting unsupported position - it is hard. We had 2 shots hit over 5 shooters. 15 shots fired for 2 hits at 200m. Small targets. I re-shot (no score) and got 2 of 3. The wallaby vitals on that stage are about 1.5-2moa which is extremely small for an unsupported sitting position.

    My misses outside ~400 were "I can't call wind that well in those conditions" - more to learn!



    I don't really think there's enough info from Sparrowhawk this time aroumd to draw any conclusions, other than "shooter proficiency (including wind calling, familiarity with equipment etc) is the most significant factor in hitting anything". It could be a useful data set if collected over a couple of events.
