Statistics say: If you put one leg in a bucket with boiling water, and another leg in a bucket of near-freezing water, that on the average, you are comfortable.
Sam, no offense intended, but there may be some readers that fail to recognize this as a very good joke and not an impeachment of statistics. Statistics are tools that, like all tools, depend on good input to produce good output. Silly input equals silly output. Dr. Jones's statistics show that high skeet scores must have either a number of single pellet breaks or aiming errors that truly seem unrealistic. These statistics come from well researched pattern analysis. So, we know high skeet scores are common and we have reliable pattern data. Therefore, we must believe single pellet hits are deadly some percent of the time or that ordinary shooters' aim is awfully good. BTW, Dr. J's simulation of single pellet breaks shows that single pellets DO break targets; not every time, but often. Further BTW, a single pellet break looks like the ones where the target sheds a chip, breaks in half, or 3 to 4 pieces. More than 4 pieces and you probably have at least 2 hits. Logically, The more hits, the surer of a broken target.
