I find the best way to get accuracy from my HW45 is use the 1st click when cocking it, the lower power position

Power isn’t ‘ft/lbs’ either. You may be thinking of Kinetic Energy the units of which are FtLbf (Foot-Pound-Force), sometimes written as Ft-Lbf or Ft.Lbf or (particularly in the USA) as FPE (Foot-Pound-Energy)
i.e., a distance times a force.
Power, on the other hand, is the rate of change of energy with respect to time.
‘Ft/Lb’ makes no sense at all.
Clear as mud, eh?

But "Units of power: The foot-pound force per minute (ft·lbf/min), foot-pound force per second (ft·lbf/s), and horsepower are units of power derived from the foot-pound force"
And more importantly its taken as the defacto measurement on the BBS and gun manufacturer's literature
Yes, that’s correct. That’s what I said in the previous post – Power is the rate of change of energy with respect to time. You were referring to ‘Power’ when you meant ‘Energy’.
Not by me it isn’t. Show me where it says that we have to use the wrong units. Please refer me to this manufacturer’s literature.

Take note of the above.
The "correct" amount of power in target shooting is the minimum amount required to consistently put a neat hole, on the point of aim, in the target at the range that the comp requires.
When we used to shoot PP1 and Service Pistol B comps with real PPC pistols we would reload our revolver ammo to be just powerful enough to punch the neat round .38 wadcutter hole at 25m. While developing these we would worry about a load that was too light and would end up in a wadcutter stuck in the barrel.
In target shooting it is not about power, it is about accuracy, anything which adversely effects accuracy is to be avoided. So if you can turn down the power and still remain on target then I would do it.
Oh and thanks again Paddy for a great comp.
