Since so many shooters now have chronographs, would it be bad to define extreme spread that way and use '''group size''' as the preferred name for the target measurement? Group size I think is the usual target lingo for the measurement. <br />[[User:Herb|Herb]] ([[User talk:Herb|talk]]) 15:01, 4 June 2015 (EDT)

On second thought this seems like a bad idea. Extreme Spread is used a lot for the target measurement too.<br />[[User:Herb|Herb]] ([[User talk:Herb|talk]]) 00:08, 6 June 2015 (EDT)

Group Number

Good name for the number of shots in a group?

The problem is thinking about targets (eg "Group number 4" meaning group on target 4).

\(\rho\)

The Greek symbol is used for the population value and letter r for sample value. Since we will use r for radius it seems prudent to just avoid using r and use \(\rho\) for the sample value. Don't know if we need to get so detailed as to have both. If we do we could define \(\rho_{\infty}\) as population value.
