    Ehhh, its actually too easy to miss at that range because you think that its so close you cant miss so you try and go fast. Its dumb but thats the way it is once the buzzer goes off.

    Yup
    Official steel challenge does rifle 22LR at 10 yards
    Yup people miss
    Considering your also shooting five targets in 1.5 seconds.... a miss is possible.
