[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 593292, member: 24624"] Shooting a tiny group is an accomplishment worthy of praise. But, anything can happen once. Or, occasionally. If you are using past results as a predictor of future performance, then you need to apply statistics. As such, confidence is gained from larger samples and selecting the best samples will skew the results. Nonetheless, there are many variables to consider and there may be valid cases for discarding the occasional flier. The bottom line is that you can compete with yourself to continue improvement. Or, you can compete with others under the same conditions as a better measure. The results of many matches are available online. Knowing the class and rules will give you an idea of what type of equipment people are using. Competing against Internet postings is a tough proposition. -- richard [/QUOTE]
