[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 1086477, member: 63748"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Have you ever used a solver to “predict” an outcome? In other words, used a program to determine where a shot will land (hit) assuming the information required for the solver is properly measured/estimated/applied and input correctly. How many hunters use a ballistics program to compute drop then follow up with calibration to verify the drop? Is using a program to compute drop backed by science much different than the concept of using a solver to predict first round hit percentage?[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]I would agree practice is the best method to “predict accuracy.” Unfortunately, for as much as I would like I just can’t afford the time to practice for every hunting situation I may encounter. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]By definition, prediction will always be a guess. Some “guesses” will be backed by science. Other “predictions” by will be backed by practice, while the remaining a combination of both or completely “something else.” [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]BTW, no offense taken. And thanks for the response backed by YOUR reasoning![/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
