What this screen is for

This is the screen that answers the question load development is for. It puts the groups beside each other, then draws each measurement as the range it could really be. Where those ranges overlap, the shots have not told the loads apart, and it says so in words rather than leaving you to read it off a chart.

What you are looking at

  • The plots along the top. One per load. Dots are the shots about their own bulls, excluded ones left out, the cross is the group centre, the dotted circle CEP 50 and the dashed circle CEP 90.
  • The figures under each plot. Sigma, mean radius and extreme spread, each with its 95 percent interval.
  • Mean radius, with the range each could really be. A line per load showing the whole interval, with the measured value marked on it. Two lines that overlap are two loads these shots cannot separate.
  • The sentence underneath. The conclusion in plain words. Here: every one of these overlaps every other, so these shots do not tell them apart.
  • Sigma, with the range each could really be. The same treatment for the other measure of spread.
  • The header. How many loads, how many shots in total, and that they are in the order you chose.

What you would do here

  1. Tick two or more sessions in session records and press Compare the chosen.
  2. Read the sentence under the mean radius bars before you read the numbers.
  3. If the intervals overlap, shoot more of both loads rather than picking a winner.
  4. Look at the plots for a difference in shape that the single numbers hide.

Where it fits

From session records. It is usually where a load development session ends.
