What everyone forgets [if my memory serves me well, and I believe it does] is that this gentleman from Iceland set a world record at Kelbly's range back in the 80's for a ten (10) shot group at 200 yards.

Regardless of the record, I've always thought it was a good gesture on his part and the part of Iceland's media to introduce folks to the art of benchrest through this video. Someday, perhaps one of our countrymen will make a more extensive video as a supplement.
