To add to that, I'm not 'training' to shoot groups - I'm shooting at
various metal plates - different sizes at different ranges - and I'm not
concerned with bullseye, but 'getting the shot on target' - and that target
is either a head size circle or a torso size rectangle.

Ever heard the term "aim small, miss small"? Google it. It's valid.

Steel Challenge is more about ringing steel fast versus placing holes in the
x-ring. A certain amount of precision is required to hit various sized
plates at various ranges. That much is granted.
