[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 2971334, member: 55410"] That looks to be a hunter with paper plate accuracy. Paper plates are 9" across as is the kill zone of a deer (approximately), so if your shots are on the paper plate, you hit the kill zone, hence you are zeroed good enough. Full sized hogs have a similar size kill zone, but not smaller hogs, lol. I had heard of this and then saw a guy actually do it the weekend before deer season years ago at a private membership range. He shot a more dispersed group at 50 yards than what is shown above, but he was happy because all his BALL ammo was on target. The guy wasn't even zeroing with hunting ammo, because that is expensive. We are at a private gun range and this guy is complaining that hunting ammo is too expensive to zero. 14 MOA isn't too bad, right? Anyway, since we don't know what bullets were shot at which distance, it is hard to assess what he was trying to accomplish, but it looks like he is shooting 6 MOA, which is not really acceptable. Doesn't matter if it is a hog or a deer, you need decent accuracy to make decent shots. Hopefully, he verified that he wasn't zeroed with that rifle and opted to later fix that one or took another, LOL. [/QUOTE]
