Wisdom from the past

I imagine those "average" cards were "average" relative to other good benchrest shooters.

Also, while there's luck involved, the rest of the story is that skill helps the statistics tremendously. The odds of Joe Average Weekend Shooter shooting a world record group with any given number of rounds are a lot less than those for Joe Pro.

Did you miss the part where I said "an excellent shooter with an excellent gun"? Groups like this happen once a decade. Top notch shooters and top guns firing hundreds of thousands possibly millions of cards for this to happen.
