[QUOTE="sndmn11, post: 2957485, member: 117237"] The evaluation isn't to learn if a scope holds zero while being dropped, it is to determine the likelihood of it losing zero in normal un-stressed conditions. Such as riding in a vehicle, being shot, etc. The person who came up with the testing realized a strong correlation between scopes that in everyday life held zero and those that did not, and scopes that would "pass" when dropped. Seven shots in a controlled environment is far more efficient and predictive than a random point on a hunt or match. Think of the procedure as a cardiac stress test; one might not "exercise" in a similar fashion to the test, but it is predictive and designed to figure out if there's an issue right then and there.
