That's a fair question Jason. One that I've asked of others in the past.
Its quite simple actually. The subject came up on another thread, and in fact crops up from time to time elsewhere in the forums and also in casual conversation on the range. I find this subject INTERESTING, and believe others do as well, nothing more than that. It ties in with several other interests being statistics, ballistics and of course F-Class performance. Its not the first such analysis I've undertaken. You may have heard of the MCSI system which enables all disciplines to compete directly in low level team competition and club level awards. There is also the F-Class ranking system published on this website. And I've developed several ballistics applications in Excel, one of which can be used to analyse how various errors and ballistic characteristics affect scores.
So this is not intended to divide the disciplines. Its just another analysis which has hopefully provided new information about one of the many topics discussed on this forum.
