Marksmanship.
I get a new AR, I go with a friend to sight it in. Along are his hunting buddies. Now, all nice guys, all responsible, nothing against them. Except they didn't know the basics of marksmanship.
I throw 3 rounds down at 50 yards (brand new built rifle) to get close, then saunter over to 100 to fine tune it.
These guys are shooting prone over a sandbag at 100 yards with scope-sighted medium caliber weapons (.30-.35)...and shooting 12" groups.
And nodding in satisfaction.
While I shoot 2" groups with iron sights on the AR...
My buddy shot well, I was glad to see.
Last year at Atterbury, some guy shows up with a red dot sight and couldn't even get on the paper at 100 yards. He'd twist knobs this way and that, sort of hoping to get close. No pattern, just back and forth with the knobs, casting like a dog. Not sure he ever did get one on paper to work from.
