How many variables contribute (or negatively affect) accuracy. After shooting for seventy years in many disciplines and having made some unbelievable groups good and bad, I've been amused with threads and claims of " being able to...every time". Maybe yes, maybe no, but to do the impossible (or improbable) means all the stars were miraculously aligned. What can affect accuracy?
A. The gun itself (condition of bore, bedding, trigger and a myriad of details like harmonics, etc)
B. The ammo's quality and suitability for the gun (subsets would include bullet, prep, etc)
C. Shooter,'s skill
D. Position and stability
E. Technique
F. Weather
G. Lighting
H. Sights
Get the idea? What else has an effect?
