Word Usage

"I do not feel my marksmanship is at a high-enough level of proficiency to take a 300-yard off-hand game shot unless I can routinely and consistently hit the steel plate off-hand with any of three different scoped rifles (a .257 Roberts with handloads, a .257 AI with handloads, and a .270 with handloads) nine times out of ten shot with each rifle."
