What is good enough accuracy to you?

I also claim a handicap for age and infirmity

However I shot on any given day is "good enough" accuracy.

Good enough is when the thing you're pointing at is dead. It's subjective and relative to time, distance, and other external pressures. Operating under pressure with a handgun, it's gotta be able to at least make a killshot at 10yds consistently. Further out and more time, 4" group at 20yds is good enough for me. Rifles, tighter tolerances and longer distance depending on the round, but I want my .223 handloads sub-moa. And within a couple inches at 300yds for hunting rounds. I'm still working at "good enough" and when I get there, I'll likely redefine what that means for myself.

Good enough…

As long as I can hit what I am aiming at. That's good enough for me.

 

[HINZERD]

It depends on my level of sobriety. If I am sober I like the bullets to generally hit the things I am aiming at, when I am hammered I am happy if they hit the berm.

This is a joke.

The above shot groups happen often enough , for me to know that it ain't luck....
And what I expect from my shooting with those rifles.

What is that smell? Bragging? Pissing contest? Or just plain BS. Geez, most guys don't know 50 yards from 50 feet.

For me good enough is hitting a clay pigeon at a legit 25 yards. Rifle? Same clay pigeon, same open sights, 100 yards. Any gun should do the above. This includes lever actions as well as the newest semi-autos.

I know I'm not asking much of myself, but I'm honest about it. This is the limit of my unaided older eyes.

For those of you that can do better, my hats off to you.

My experience is that some people shooting off-hand pistol may misjudge the distance or size of the target.
The "9" ring on a NRA B8 target is 5.54" and most shooters are not putting all their rounds in that black area at 25 yards with a centerfire pistol off-hand.
Certainly some can do it regularly, but most cannot on a consistent basis (including myself).
Every pistol I own has greater potential accuracy then I bring to the table.
