This is the best thread ever on this forum.
I ain't saying I could do it Rev but if you lived closer I would surely try. Sounds like a fun day at the range either way. Actually I know I'm not consistent enough to do that but due to a fluke one day when I was shooting I know my XD-40 is. I just wish I was capable of shooting anywhere near as accurate as my pistols are capable of.

I'll match REV's offer, anybody that wants to come to the Chicago area and shoot in the 'dungeon' using his rules PM me.

I said $20 because I might be able to do it once. :lol:
We have a shooter in the forum that said what is below .... not picking on him at all, but I mentioned my doubt of his stated facts, and was criticized for 'calling him a liar' by several posters, which is what got this whole thing started. Actually, I'd call his statement a 'shooter's embellishment' rather than calling the gentleman a liar (kinda like a fish story and we know fisherman are NOT liars).

Took the SR9 to the range today after work to try out the trigger. I went through 53 rounds (3 hollow points). I was able to get 1 inch groups at 15 yards.

That's two (or maybe more since it was plural) 1 inch groups out of 53 rounds. If it were 2, he'd be up $32 with my challenge.
Haven't had him check in yet !!!

Hey, Rev, I think this is a HOOT! I know I'd lose money, but it would sure be fun to get a whole bunch together to try it out!!
One question: by 'inside a one inch circle', do you mean that the complete hole, (bullet footprint) has to be in that circle, OR, do you mean that it would be SCORED as inside, meaning I draw a one inch circle on the paper, and every one of the five holes CUTS IT??? (I still probably couldn't do it, but for a BIG caliber, it makes a pretty significant difference.) Actually, I think the latter is a better challenge. A bigger caliber is probably harder to shoot into a small group, so it might 'even the odds' a bit.
One other possible meaning is that the center of the holes have to be inside, since shooting a 'one inch group' usually means that the size 'center-to-center' is less than an inch.

just my .02 cents,
...if you did manage a pretty good get-together, that would make it worth the time and gas.
Maybe we could organize this challenge???

It's a shooting contest, and a hard one. Should be fun.

Ah, back on track, and good question Shoot !! Originally I thought they'd have to be INSIDE the circle completely, but that would make it pretty small. How about we say they have to be covered completely by a quarter ?? I think a quarter is 1.25 inches but I could be wrong.
Does anyone know if when measuring group size if it's completely INSIDE a one inch circle for a one inch group, or is it center to center of the two farthest holes. I honestly think I've seen it measured both ways.
Any ideas on this point ??
Ignore the trolls ... they'll tire and go away !

I have always seen it measured center to center.

Well, for normal 'official' purposes, it HAS to be center-to-center. Otherwise you could NOT get a 0.25" 'group' using a 30 caliber rifle!!!
(And a one inch group measured YOUR way with my 44 would have to be about 0.5" center-to-center!!! My Ruger SBH Hunter is good, but not THAT good; even in a vise!)
P.S. I have a picture of a target I shot at around 15 yards with my 44, with 4 holes touching, in a 1/2" center-to-center group, and one 'flyer' making it around 1.25". BUT...... it was done WITH a rest, and WITH a red dot sight!! Free standing??? NO way man! (I was trying to find out if my inaccuracy was the result of a poor hunting load I was loading, or just me. Sure answered my question!)
