A Camera can be put on a tripod. So the movement factor is made zero and you judge the image on what the lens can do. Not luck and percentages. Or skill at being still even. When they judge the accuracy of a target gun do they ever mount it in a clamp thing and shoot it indoors? Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
