More Statistics on the Yukon 600 Nationals
In the guns fired by the top five competitors in 2-Gun, it appears that only Ryan Hunt might have used the same rifle in both LG and HG.
The average of the group Aggs of the five top 2-gun finishers in LG was 2.940”. The average of the group Aggs of the five top 2-gun competitors in HG was 2.705”. It appears the general consensus is that the second day of competition, involving HG competition, was an easier wind condition. Thus the better average group size for the five top 2-gun finishers was aided by better wind conditions, the use by some competitor of true heavy rifles and other unknowns.
Richard Schatz’s results, with a 2.807 Agg in LG with a score of 372 and a 3.312 Agg in HG with a score of 343, imply that Richard might have finished higher than #5 in 2-gun had he used his LG in HG competition. Some shooters, including Richard Schatz, might not agree with that conclusion.
The above observations lead to the following interesting statistics which lists the number and average of all groups fired by the five top 2-gun competitors, classified by group size, that is, the number and average of 1.---” groups, the number and average of 2.---” groups, the number and average of 3.---” groups and the number and average of 4.---” groups. Each of the Top Five in 2-Gun, have their individual group distributions shown to the right of the 80-group distribution:
-----------------------------------Sam------ Ryan---------Glen--------Mike-------Richard
(13) 1” groups @ avg. of 1.652”----(5) 1.5126 (2) 1.6425 (2) 1.551- (2) 1.9885 (2) 1.772
(39) 2” groups @ avg. of 2.569”----(8) 2.461- (10) 2.4988 (7) 2.8507 (7) 2.4574 (7) 2.6203
(22) 3” groups @ avg. of 3.508”----(3) 3.327- (4) 3.449- (5) 3.5946 (6) 3.631- (4) 3.4107
(06) 4” groups @ avg. of 4.495”--------------------------(2) 4.5465 (1) 4.458 (3) 4.4737
The 80-groups fired by the Top Five 2-Gun competitors averaged 2.822”
The smallest group fired by the Top Five 2-Gun competitors was 1.344"
The largest group fired by the Top Five 2-Gun competitors was 4.987"
The point of the above is that it is just interesting statistics to me--statistics that the folks that run the matches do not have time to present.
