  2. Accurizing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurizing

    Accurizing is the process of improving the accuracy and precision of a gun (firearm or airgun). [ 1 ] For shooting sport , accuracy is the gun's ability to hit exactly what the shooter is aiming at, and precision is the ability to hit the same place over and over again in a repeatable fashion.

    The TrackingPoint XS1, a precision guided firearm. PGFs are fully integrated systems consisting of a rifle, networked tracking scope, guided trigger and precision conventional ammunition based on standard caliber bolt action or semi-automatic rifles. Wireless connectivity allows PGFs to integrate with local and wide area networks to provide ...

    Gun B has poor consistency, but good accuracy. [citation needed] Figure 3: The mean points of impact for guns A and B (case 2) A more realistic possibility is shown in Figure 3. In this case, assuming that each series had the same consistency as those shown in Figure 1, gun A shows good consistency and accuracy, and gun B is poor on both counts.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NRA_Precision_Pistol

    NRA Precision Pistol, formerly known as NRA Conventional Pistol, [1] is a national bullseye shooting discipline organized in the United States by the National Rifle Association of America. Emphasis is on accuracy and precision, and participants shoot handguns at paper targets at fixed distances and time limits.

  7. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    The tightness of the grouping (the proximity of all the shots to each other) is a measure of the precision of a weapon, and a measure of the shooter's consistency and skill. [1] [2] On the other hand, the grouping displacement (the distance between the calculated group center and the intended point of aim) is a measure of accuracy.

    AR-15 with a Magpul Industries Angled Fore Grip (AFG®). Angled forward grips can provide similar functionality to vertical forward grips. They differ in that a vertical foregrip is more useful for "driving" the weapon, while an angled foregrip is more effective at pulling the weapon into the shooter's shoulder while keeping the offhand wrist in a comfortable and manageable position, which ...
