I often have posted this picture with the intent of showing off a nice gun, but it's also sitting on one of my "bragging" targets, shot during a fairly intensive three-year effort to earn my "Master" rating in NRA Bullseye competition (I never did quite make it.)

This is a 25 yard "timed" target (ten shots in twenty seconds) and the score is enough to make High Master - if you can do it every time. The black is 5.5" and you can see I used most of it. Call it a 3.5" group at best, with a specially prepped match gun, optical sights, custom grip, negligible recoil, an utterly amazing trigger, and thousands of hours of focused training.
Obviously there are plenty of folks who are better at that game than I ever was, but I didn't exactly suck at it either. So my hat is off to anyone capable of that kind of accuracy. And for anyone who claims to be able to cut those groups in half, with stock service pistols, and yet is unknown to anyone in the competition world, I'll call him a damn liar.
