No more however... eyesight not 100% these days.

Very nice shooting above - minute of bunny's eye. You might win a shoot-off with an occasional great group, but it is always continuous and consecutive group set accuracy that wins championships. I particularly like Flocks 0.49" average with Eley High Velocity ammo - that's a hunting round and will translate into excellent field accuracy.

Well done guys - looking forward to seeing more

This is definitely about consistency its a very Difficult job to shoot Five Consecutive good groups that’s the hole idea
Remember it’s all about the average group so a .6 isn’t going to kill you if the other 4 are Respectable flock has a .672 in there but his other groups make up for it and ends up scoring under .5
