Shoot Tighter Groups With The SOB Tactical Range Card

About this video

McPhee demonstrates how to use his range card diagnostic tool to analyze bullet groupings and identify shooter errors. By identifying vertical stringing, diagonal patterns, and horizontal spread in target groups, he shows how specific grip, stance, and pushing techniques can correct these issues and tighten shot groups.

Key takeaways

• McPhee’s range card uses a working edge with directional arrows to identify specific shooting faults: vertical stringing indicates stance issues, 45-degree patterns indicate grip problems, and east-west spread indicates wobble
• McPhee teaches the ‘super push’ technique—locking the arms, pushing the shoulder away, and maintaining forward lean—which he argues addresses multiple accuracy problems including wobble, grip inconsistency, and shoulder movement
• McPhee identifies firing thumb pressure as a distinct cause of shot group problems separate from trigger control, and argues that removing thumb pressure from the equation improves accuracy
