Ernest is that pretty much the highest speed you can set the cricket to achieve the best accuracy

Has anyone else noticed how when a Cricket wins something the discussion leans towards how it may be due the elements like wind and weather so it could have been what ever brand whereas when an EdGun wins something it´s all talk about how great they really are. Cricket win = a fluke assisted by the elements . EG win = it´s the gun … :winkn:
:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
While I agree with you, a shooter can only dope the wind accurately with a consistent and accurate AG. In windless conditions I feel bench rest just shows AG accuracy and not so much the shooter.
Let’s not forget the huge advantage a micro adjustable rest and formed rear rest have against the bipod or bags only.
Take a shooter with his gun in a windless building and let him shoot a round on rest and then on bags.
Noticeable point gap. Put him in windy environment and that gap gets significantly bigger as there is much less shooter induced movement on micro rest plus the rest can be left dialed into its target/hold-off while waiting for specific wind.
To me being most all these PCPs can produce single ragged holes at 50yds it’s more the shooters ability to read wind and of course having a great lock down “benchrest” over the gun everyday.
I agree to your point all good PCP´s being able to produce ragged holes at 50m (or yards) and that´s the least one should expect from any AG worth the name.

With the wind conditions being what they were I would expect the results had much more to do with the shooters than the gun.
Yea – that sux. I am going to ask Steve to bug them to publish it. I’d like to know the scopes too.
😥 Wish they listed what AG’s where used. 😥
