Field Target is an arms race.

What bling? I brought up statistics and mentioned two people who use them in the shooting industry (there are many, many more), the statistics apply regardless of who is doing the calculations. Everyone has an agenda, my comment was about statistics in response to a comment about shooting enough groups, not specifically Hornady or Litz.

You have made it specific to those people and their agendas...why, what is your agenda? And why do you think your agenda is valid if theirs is not? Sounds like YOU have a lot to lose here with all this bluster about agendas... My response was about statistics and now your spouting off about me hiding my head in the sand...? This is an airgun forum dude, time and place. Stop projecting.

Statistics are statistics, if its shooting or fabricated precision items, volleyball or what-have-you. Litz and Hornady are not making up what counts as a statistically significant number for a proper sample size (to sell bullets or books as you claim), statistics/math created that number (and likely created it before Litz was even born).

Do you have issues with statistics or Hornady/Litz? It sounds a lot like the later and not at all part of the discussion...the discussion about what Mike had said about shooting the proper number of targets to understand how well you and the rifle are performing.

Statistics.
Extended strings of fire are a test of the shooter not the rifle. Ok I do have bias based on many years in competitive shooting. That are shooters and there are staticisns. Very seldom do they cross. B L is an exception but also a bullet guy, so there is always that. But trying do say Long strings of shots are the only thing that tells you the rifle is competitive/ accurate is BS. Plus pushing the idea its all about the rifle in a competitive environment is really misleading. But it's what numbers guys do, being competitive, not so often. Have a nice summer and enjoy the heat, snow is coming.
