HD - I don't agree that one method of setting balance point will achieve "perfect weight distribution." Different shooters prefer different balance points based on their individual shooting styles and physiology. I'll do some research with this method. Certainly, it take into account hand placement, but I expect there are other factors.
JC - "improve its handling" is a subjective evaluation. Only the individual shooter handling the gun can judge if it is improved. The focus of my work is to establish objective measurements so shooters can know and communicate what they are evaluating. The weight, balance, and swing numbers of a given gun are objective. How you feel about them are subjective. I do not believe the goal is to establish generally optimum handling, rather, it is to establish optimum handling for each individual shooter. This is the same gosl as stock fit.
