Targeting dichotomy

[Hedge]

My wife is deadly accurate on small rodents out to 100 yds. 1 shot 1 kill kinda thing. The problem is when she shoots for group on paper, her hits are scattered with no decent grouping.
It's the same rifle/scope combo she uses to nail varmints and the same one that will print .250" c-c groups for me.

Anyone have any ideas as to the cause of the inconsistency? Any help would be appreciated. She's down in the dumps about this.

Never mind. Figured it out.

Mind sharing what you found?

Fluorescent orange target dots. They were playing tricks with her eyes. Made up some different targets and she drilled 'em all.

Haven't heard that one in awhile.
Wasn't that they were small, though. Just the fluorescent color.
Black dots or white circles were no problem.

I'm red/green color blind. Some targets just melt right into the background. Really frustrating at times. Glad to hear it was something simple!

That's got to be a real bummer, especially the green.
I have a problem focusing on blue light.

Yup, glad it was simple, too. Hate to see her bummed out. Takes all the fun out of shooting. She's a blast to spot for. Just call the range and solution and watch her take 'em out.

Picked up some Tannerite, today and filled pill bottles with it. She's wanting to buy a case of it, now!
