[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2231020, member: 116181"] The two touching/ one not is because you aren't seeing the full population of likely results since you're only seeing three data points. If you continually shoot groups and overlay them, you'll see the actual size of the group emerge, and the "flyer" won't be an outlier once there are enough data points. In a way it's applying the concept of ES to group size, the group size can't be smaller than the largest spread. A true flyer is a shot that you call as being off before you see where it is on the target. They're based on the last sight picture you have before the shot goes not being on target. You must call it before you see the result; if you wait to see the target before calling it you're excluding an otherwise valid data point from the set and basically lying to yourself about the size of the group.
