It might be easier to achieve with a .30 cal? Heavier pellets bucking the wind better? But I would guess only a few of us shoot like Ted, or Matt for that matter.

I tell it like it is with every gun I buy or when people ask about a certain gun. I won’t bash a gun that I don’t own but I got accused of product bashing. When I research a gun, I want the truth, good or bad. When it comes to a guns potential accuracy, I look for trends. It takes longer and may delay a purchase longer than most impulse buyers may like but the cream generally rises to the top. In this airgun community we need to be honest, some guys are scraping every last penny to buy a gun. If you’re not getting paid to gloss over the bad and only show the good, don’t.
2manyAirGunz mentioned having the feel for authentic groups. Most of us know what you’re talking about and feel the same. For example, jdanvers, Taipan group above is an authentic 100yrd group. We will all see this far more often than a tiny little cluster with one flier.

To go in the opposite direction I think the shooter may often be the reason a gun can’t group. I have never been much of a golfer. Telling people that breaking 90 is a good day for me is a little soul crushing. In fact typing that last sentence made me feel ill. I’m making no comment of rounds above 100. I’m a good non professional shooter mainly with firearms. No matter how small the group (5 or more shots) certainly I must be a factor to the detriment barring statistical anomalies. Airguns magnify my errors far more than firearms. I’ve use what has been historically good form for me and it seems to work. Then maybe I change my grip, or cheek contact, or shoulder pressure then everything changes-dramatically! Two nearly identical guns (weight, power, configuration) require different hold/technique. Just like golf, you change your grip and see what happens. You may have only one gun that doesn’t like the way you hold it but since the other 15 guns you have do, it must be a dud.

I'm not even going to the next page because I already know what's up.
It's obvious some posters/posers are bold faced liers.
Others cherry pick. I mean who hasn't shot incredible groups, that's cool but don't say you do this like it's a casual thing.
At this point it's mostly entertaining. I'll keep laughing and applauding.
For the most part I know who here on AGN is the real deal, some of the best I've seen first hand what they and their guns can do.

I charge for some of my videos as they take time to produce. My opinions are however not for sale. Personally from my experience most manufacturers want to hear what can be improved..I think it's a fear for a reviewer to piss them off or something. Nothing wrong with being critical, can do it in a polite way. Thanks, it's been a long road with many mistakes made but I love what I do.
