That is the way to do it with a hunting rifle. If you can use the same
target for about 10 shots. Take one shot when you get to a shoting range
and maybe another when you leave. Do that for several differant trips and
that will give you the real hunting group.

It does no good to shoot a 1/2 group and then the next week shoot another
1/2 group but 2 or 3 inches away from the first due to maybe bumping the
scope out of adjustment.
