Who wants to boycott 3 shot group reviews & reviewers?

[Barelstroker]

I'm a lifelong lover of all things pistols, rifles & shotguns & have been all my life.
I have subscriptions to all the gun stuff channels that I'm aware of & I love to look, listen & learn about everything guns.
Lately though, I see so many channels pissing & shitting on every rifle manufacturer you can think of based primarily on accuracy & repeatability using as little & more often than not on one single, piss poor 3 shot fucking group.
I've finally lost my shit over this bullshit 3 shot group toss that so many no-nuffs think is all telling & conclusive. They upload this garbage to YouTube & think they know WTF they are talking about.
I'm asking for opinions on what you guys really think.
Should these no-nuff plonkers continue to blame powder, primers, barrels, actions, brass & projectiles or, whatever they see fit with, nothing more than one dogshit 3 shot group?
Fuck em I say. From now on, I'm calling these plonkers out in their comments sections. No longer will I say nothing.

Anyone who views content creators/influencers as realistic/serious are retarded.

Any content creator wearing a flat brimmed hat is retarded. Flat brimmed hats are dunce caps of this generation.

Boy howdy, that is some firehose tism.

I think you should run your own tests the way you think it should be done and post them up to prove that the 3 shot testing is inaccurate.

99% are shooting factory ammo anyways and they all shill.

I do really like winning in the wind though - he’s as good a precision shooter channel as they come.

98% of content creators want to be able to shoot for a living, so they'll put out whatever is necessary to get the "like, share, and subscribe, or consider following me on Patreon".

I tired of all the "INSANE" rifle builds, shot groups, and performance review click bait pretty quickly. I do like a few channels though from guys who actually compete with what they're saying/doing.

First groups out of my installed with 10lb sledge hammer and 20 ton press “thermofit” 6 arc build :

Legit 0.1” gun here

 

[Wormydog1724]

Nice crash out. Now post some groups.

Don't you have something better to do?

After waking up in the morning it’s coffee, coffee and contemplation; then speaking. Violating this often results in one going full retard according to my wife; not sure if she’s talking about her, or people in general.

I haven’t seen the reviews you are referring to, so I can’t comment specifically, but I suspect few YouTube sensations are good shooters not to mention they are probably testing light barreled hunting rifles and 5 shot groups would likely be even worse.

Best thing to do is smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

Multiply a 3-shot group by 1.28 to get your expected 5-shot group?

I saw this on LaRue's Instagram and thought it was interesting.

I say you do you and don't dwell on most of the world. Big thing is consider the sources, the intended use of the rifle being tested, does it apply to you? if not, like the above post-smile and wave.

I too like Glasscock's content. He's totally data driven and no BS.

As for 3 shot group shills....I'd kind of like to add people who consistently shoot REALLY, REALLY small groups with the rifles they build but never say they use a mechanical rest/fixture (like BR shooters) to do it. Just a thought.

2 more shots isn’t going to make a lousy 3 shot group better.

 

[Barelstroker]

Most of these reviewers seem to be able to rubbish any & all ammo manufacturers products as well as rifle manufacturers, projectile manufacturers, powder, primer & brass manufacturers, all based on one 3 shot group.
Apparently, a 3 shot group tests all of these things whenever they want. They just choose a subject & there's a 3 shot group to prove their point.
The damage some of these reviewers can & must do to companies due to their influence is real & I think they have a far greater impact than most of us realize.
When I venture into their comments section, there is a flood of ass licking comments agreeing wholeheartedly with whatever determination the reviewers last flurry of 3 shot group wisdom showed them.

...but how do I validate my "knowledge" unless I come onto the internet and tell folks "Joe Pumpkinhead over there, he's a dunce, and you should know that I AM THE SMART ONE"?

Maybe I'm being sarcastic here, or maybe I'm being honest?

 

[Buzzinga]

So…you’re saying spending too much time on social media is having a negative impact on your psychological well-being. Huh who’d have thunk it

Yeah!
Let's tie them up, peel their eyelids back, and force them to read Bryan Litz.


LOL
In all seriousness, I shoot 5 shot groups and sometimes don't trust the results. 5 shot groups are my personal minimum for getting data. I've spent far too much effort trying to explain this mentality to "good enough" shooters.
Sometimes, though, less is good enough...
