How Accurate are Elite Shooters?

WATCH: THE WORLDS MOST ACCURATE SHOOTERS

With the skills to pay the bills, pro shooters and their rifles are incredibly accurate. We chose 3 of the top PRS shooters and ran through multiple positions and did an accuracy check on paper. From kneeling to unconventional positions, we shot at 499yds under competition conditions to see what their group size looked like. Check out the video to see how you might compare.
