Don, since you sometimes get even 2 pellet hits that do NOT result in a break, I think assuming that all hits that produce 4 pieces or less are the result of a single pellet strike puts you on pretty shaky ground. Maybe not quite as shaky as assuming that no breaks result from single pellet strikes--but I don't know any skeet shooters who believe that. Then there's the issue of even unbroken targets shattering when they hit the ground. We're safe from that right now, here in northern WI, because of all the snow. But the deep snow also makes target collection difficult.
You know what they say in the military about why you should not ASS-U-ME things.
