[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1942070, member: 113501"] Thank you for the analysis. From reading that it is clear that skill played a part because the hit probability and number of shots required line up pretty well. It would have said even more if you had kept going to get 2-3 hits but that would probably tax the endurance of the shooter with a big boomer like that. On the other hand, you're so far beyond the range with useful hit probability that I doubt the lessons learned from your new data will have much impact inside that range with useful hit probability. It seems to me that increasing the hit probability at extended range should be the next target, rather than backing it up and watching statistics happen. Long range wind reads with Lidar from muzzle to target and getting the SD down to 1-2 seem like the path forward, then take a step backward and try to get double digit hit probability at 4,000 yards.
