Personally, Id never take that challenge if I stood to lose anything, b/c Im shooting a 1.5moa-ish hunting rifle. Even if I called everything PERFECT a % of shots would land outside 1moa. And lets just say I aint perfect. Id venture to guess that 90%+ of the “sub-moa rifles” out there are not legit 1moa rifles in the first place (unless limited to small # of shots). If that was the point, it makes perfect sense. A 1” dot at 100 yards shows exactly the same thing—even a well-zeroed, legit sub-moa gun often puts one or two off or nearly off a 1” dot simply because being zeroed to the nearest click is rarely perfectly centered on the poa.
And thats before we even get to being perfectly zeroed, wind, npoa, etc.
Edit: Watching the cortina video he said he uses the 5” target to simulate a bad shot angle and/or brush obscuring the target. Ok, the point is perhaps fair (and perhaps not if many people wont take a badly compromised shot at longer range). Personally I think a realistic target size leaves more of a lasting mark on both gawkers like me and on participants, but I’ll do that challenge after I have a quarter-million subscribers on MY youtube channel!
