    Hey Everyone,

    Here is the new Hunter Diagnostic, just in time for the new season. Do you want to extend your capabilities or at least understand them before heading out to engage that animal. Distance gives us time and opportunity, but not everyone has the ability to successfully engage targets on command under stress at all distances. So we developed the Hunter Diagnostic to test your limits before you hit the field.

    This guide is designed to help shooters determine the maximum effective distance at which they can reliably hit a target of a specific size. The Hunter 1 Box Diagnostic focuses on measuring the shooter’s fundamental consistency, wind reading and variability, stress, and accounts for some ballistic uncertainty as the cone of fire extends to further distances. The calculations presented here are not simple extrapolations from a group shot at 100 yards or based solely on the wind conditions on the day of the test. Instead, they provide a comprehensive approach to evaluating likely hit or miss scenarios under various conditions.

    This Hunter diagnostic tool can be particularly useful in hunting situations, where ethical considerations are paramount. By assessing kill zone sizes for game animals and determining an absolute maximum no-shoot distance, hunters can make more informed decisions, reducing the risk of injuring or missing their target.
