Thread: Expected accuracy for unsupported positional shooting

Using @Bagheera example above on the NZDA 100m metric targets. For a 20 shot match (out of 200) i normally shoot about a score about 160 with just me and the rifle (no support, no sling).

This is a typical target of mine with no specific practice for this event. This was a practice 40 shot match (10 prone, 10 sitting, 10 kneeling, and 10 standing).
With practice at this match I can significantly increase my score - my personal best was a 20 shot practice target that scored at 181.





Moa Hunter - my kneeling position. I accept not everyone can sit on their foot like this and so many people use a rolled up bit of foam (or something similar) under their ankle. Normally my sitting position is considerably better than my kneeling.


@ebf To answer your question directly:
Unsupported prone is not my strong point so at 100m i average about a 3" group.
Unsupported sitting I also average a 3" group.
Unsupported kneeling i can keep most in a 4" group with the occasional flier that'll blow the group out to 8".
unsupported standing i am keeping everything inside that 8" group.
With the NZDA 100m Metric target above my match goal is to keep my average at an 8 or better and everything (including my fliers) inside the 5 ring.
