What does my Poll tell me?
My first sampling was directed towards a target sampling of shooters outside the US who had shot in World events and I had an email for. (131 shooters from15 Countries)
With 67 Votes in - 91% felt that Standardization was needed with 54% saying it was needed Now. I do not have any way to determine who the voters were or from what country they were from. At that point I received 20 email replies from 10 countries and they were all in favor of standardization & voted in the poll. I have not received any email from the 9% who did not want to change.
I then put a link to the poll on this forum yesterday morning and then let run for 24 hours.
With 63 more votes I felt I now had another valid sampling. Granted it was not statically as valid as the first 67 but I felt it shared the same trend.
With 130 votes in - - 84% felt that Standardization was needed with 45% saying it was needed Now. I do not have any way to determine who the voters were or from what country they were from. I have now received 31 email replies from 11 countries and they were all in favor of standardization on the target & voted in the poll. I have not received any email from the 16% who did not want to change which I find interesting.
As Pointed out earlier a few people found a way to vote more than once. If they did I have no way of knowing. In reviewing my website statistics & email I did not feel this had a material effect on the overall validity of the poll.
Did I feel that results of my poll indicated an overwhelming majority were in favor of change as the above Seem to show. NO - because the target audience was limited and statistically speaking marginal. Coupled with this fact was the Simple Poll I used had very limited controls.
However it did tell me that I have not wasted my time in my quest for Standardization!
