[W.P.T.]

Point of impact only, because like snowflakes no two shells are exactly alike ... One pattern might have a hole in it that does not exist in another one or if one does exist, it would be in a different place in the pattern ... Unless each and every shell were completely and exactly alike there is no use to pattern a gun for anything other than POI ... I can look at the hot spot in tha pattern at the same time and go from there ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

 

[W.P.T.]

The reason to not pattern far out weighs the reasons to pattern .. First, that pattern at any given point is only at that point and is constantly changing before reaching that point and beyond that point until the shot falls from the sky ... The pellets are constantly moving and become static at the Point of impact, until then and beyond that point they are multi dimensional ... This being that an inch closer or farther away would of produced and foot printed a different pattern all together ... That being said makes patterning for anything other than POI is a waste of time and money, but is a good way to see how bad your eyes are when you cannot see the little holes in the paper so you can count them anymore ...
