And, of course, Jim mentions this in this month's article, Dan.
Many have said it so many times.......get the gun and scope exactly as you want / need it, then practice, practice, practice. Get to know that gun inside out so that it becomes a part of you. That's why so many of us (myself most definitely included) will never realise our full potential, forever switching between guns. And, when I hunted and just had the one gun, the gun that you were so intimate with, a gun whose little foibles you understood so well, well, shooting was so natural.
That old adage "beware the man with just one gun" stands as firm today as it ever did.

I love the technical stuff. I'll pop up town and get a copy so I can read Jim's latest article.
"Beware the man with one gun"
In modern springer shooting terms ...
"Beware the man who sticks to one tune in his springer"
I dusted off an old 77 last night. If I do one thing this winter it'll be doing some HFT style hold sensitivity testing with a couple of tunes and other things.
It'll be great to read of your findings, Boz.
Like you, can't wait to get my Jim Fix every month.
Now, when I've fettled a gun, if it feels smooth to cock and fire, doesn't twang and the power output is where I want it I tend not to play further and just shoot it.

Thanks Jon, that answers the 'where' but not the 'how'. Jamie used to mount the accelerometer on an upturned scope mount, itself attached to the scope. Was you data captured like that, or the way I do it, low on a scope mount, just above the action?
Knowing this stuff helps interpret the data.
