Hello all, Sorry for my rant ahead of time.
So I have a question. When looking at consistency with FPS or accracy at a certain distance what is more important. A consistent spread under 12 fps and low standard deviation? or an accurate consistent shot at a certain distance?
The reason I ask is I seem to be getting really fixated on fps spread and standard deviation. On my Impact M3 I was shooting hole in hole at 30 and 50 yards . But my spread was way off. like 30-50 fps difference occasionally . So I started to change my tune. I got the spread and fps within 12-14 and standard deviation to about 3.5 but my shots were off. I am the type of person that will fixate on something and can't sleep until I get it right. My nick name given by my mother is "one track" as in one track mind... Its a flaw and a gift I guess because I do not quit until I get it right and get what I want. Second nick name Badger . Also given by my mom. Hah. Well If I have some type of direction to know I am in the right direction or that 10-14 spread is completly normal I move on to my next task.
What a reasonable spread and STD? Something that's not perfect but okay to work with? If I am shooting hole in hole at 50 yards and I have a spread of 24 is that okay? I only use unsorted JSB 34 pellets.
Thank you for all the help.
