Is my crosshair accurate? I'm new, bad at aiming and want to be sure it's 100% a skill issue. As you can see at the end, some I get right and others I blow it when it's right in front of me. I want to make sure I'm practicing the right way and don't have settings off. S.Aim @ 0.444, Scoped & ADS @ 1
