Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

Without doing a ton of research into it again. Lock time for an AR is often more than DOUBLE that over a bolt action rifle. That means twice as much recoil anticipation (shouldering) during the lock time process, twice as much sympathetic manipulation with other fingers, twice as much flinch, twice as much shift from improper breathing technique or improper rear bag manipulation, etc... etc...

Just a few thousandths of deviation at the muzzle will mean a lot downrange.
I would bet flinching does have a lot to do with it. I handed many a friend my old 454 casull with an empty chamber and watched them flinch so badly upon pulling the trigger that had there been a round in the chamber, they would have hit dirt 10 feet in front of them.

Camera - not game.

I think a lot of deer behavior ("spookiness") is going to be based off of hunter pressure.

I don't know of any real-time camera setups that will notify you as fast as a Ring doorbell etc..., but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Most of us 'poors' that use cell cameras (me included) get updates in about 1-2 minutes. I imagine they have options for dudes who like to pay a lot to not have to turn their head.

Those damn squirrels...

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

Bullshit.

5MOA with junk ammo means you suck.

Describing that setup between 1-2 MOA is easily possible--even with junk ammo. Don't make me get out my AK/steel cased ammo and prove my point.

Ammo makes a difference. It doesn't make a 5MOA difference.

I'm with @Sheldon N - my 14.5" BCM upper will shoot 4 MOA with good ammo.

Quick Update:

Gmail issue when invoicing:
Well, I'm a little disappointed with my Merchant Services provider; the Gmail issue hasn't been resolved and as of late, there are issues getting invoices to Hotmail accounts as well.

So, I'm forced to administratively reproduce a large number of transactions into a new system, as the batch transfer option from my current provider to the new provider is also inop. What a headache, but I'm working through it.

As I spend the day working through this, I'll resend invoices that so far, have not been deliverable with the old provider. Fortunately, there's an incredibly capable Dude working on the new website, so all of this will be completely automated very soon.

I apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused, and I appreciate everyone's patience.

Single Screw Cocking Pieces:
It seems there's a flood of folks experiencing an issue with the two-screw cocking piece. The symptoms of a broken two-screw are, difficult bolt lift, erratic accuracy, and some have experienced difficult bolt closure.

The single screw cocking pieces will arrive in my shop later this week/early next. Many have been emailing about this, and I can invoice for this anytime, but give me until tomorrow so I can work through the details with onboarding the new merchant services capabilities and not have to worry about the invoices making it to your inbox.

V-Series Magazines:
This project is going very well, and I plan to be standing at the machines when the first of the V2210 parts are done to begin the LRIP validation. I'll be cataloging parts of the process in pictures and post them here so you guys can continue to follow along.

Thanks again for everyone's support and all the best,

Ranger Point Precision.

Are 336 parts the same as this 30AW ? I looked on their site and didn't see anything 30aw specific.

My understanding was the 30aw was kind of a dressed down 336, but the same internally.

It just doesn't feel the same

Bourbon and Whisky are the same thing. :devilish:
All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon. :geek:

It's actually quite a bit more complicated than even that, and unlike beans, tortillas, or whateverthefuck, it is not up for debate. Rather it is in the theorems, proofs, maxims, and immutable laws of thousands of years of western civilization that have culminated in the penultimate beverage. People who fail to understand this are the same people who believe there are multiple genders, Donald Trump is a Russian agent, and Gavin Newsome is a good governor.
