Driver confidence will trump ( or ruin) the measurement of a set up the majority of the time. Of course it all needs to work to get the true last percent but most of us aren't 99 shooters anyway. Objective, though far more frustrating for the crew, can be just as valuable as subjective


Mark, none taken. I try to always note that the math and physics only tell us how the gun, itself, "IS." How any "IS" will fit any individual shooter is another story. Think of handling fit in the same category as stock dimensions fit. Knowing the dimensions from a try gun stock can be turned into a specification for the stocker.
