Measuring accuracy or consistency

[Rocky Raab]

I'm not a statistician by any means, but I don't think I've ever been fooled by comparing five five-shot groups.

And it doesn't take laborious calculation of various deviations, deltas, variances or the like either. Just a plain old group size is all I need. I can average the five together, or just use a "gut-feel" middlin' number and be done with it.

As I've so often said, tiny groups are overrated unless you're a target competitor. Hunters can neither achieve nor benefit from benchrest-type accuracy.
