Just from a pure marketing standpoint, you can't lose selling tuners. Since almost no one tests their rifle/ammo properly, the following can happen:
- 2 and 3 shot groups will always randomly move around inside the actual dispersion of the rifle. So, you will *always* have testing that appears to show group size and location move around. This means you'll always see "nodes" which are just random occurrences.
Since most people aren't testing properly, they will see this as the tuner "working" and be very happy.
- most shooters don't have a need and aren't capable of shooting under .5 moa consistently. Most modern rifles are capable of shooting 1moa or less (especially in small samples). So, no matter what, even with a tuner, most every modern rifle is going to shoot better than the owner is capable or needs
These two things combined will make pretty much anyone who doesn't actually understand how dispersion works, think they have something that is working. And let's be honest, most shooters have almost no clue how dispersion actually plays out. Otherwise, they wouldn't be using 2 and 3 shot groups for much anything at all.
The times that the randomness above doesn't play out in their low count tuning sessions, tuner manufacturers can say that it doesn't work for every rifle or every ammo. Or say that you need to keep turning and twisting the tuner.
Most shooters that will believe the above have either seen small sample tests on YouTube or have other tuners that appeared to work, so they believe any and all of the above.
When you have a product that appears to work (even if it does or doesn't work) with low sample size AND you can also say that it's not guaranteed to work every time.......you have marketing/manufacturing gold. You can't lose.
