So who believes this crap?

I have had similar proof targets supplied with some purchases. I have to question them based on the overall buying experience with the seller.
Always a very tight group. If the gun does not have a scope, they must use a shooting vice.
What if the gun shoots an unacceptable group? Go on a pellet hunt for a performer or say, sorry I'm not shipping it?
I would like to think the best here but when you get the I'm to busy to call you back and delayed shipment, I find it hard to believe my guy, not all provided a real proof target. Just something that gives the false impression of "value added" attention and service.

I would like to believe that the target Crosman provided with my 1701p is an accurate representation of the guns potential. Showing what appears to be a 1/4” group at 10 yards. So if a tested, machine rested 1701p shot a 1” group at 10 yards, I believe it would/should be rejected by the testers. And while most users may never shoot as accurately as the test target. Knowing the “potential” is there gives shooters confidence in the gun. Ultimately the test target is meaningless as the shooter is a big part of the equation.

The 1701P better not shoot a 1" group at 10 yards- it would be going back to Crosman right away. You pay a premium for the LW barrel so it had better perform! I think I would have been disappointed with anything greater than 1/4" at 10 yards from a secured rest. I have know idea what Crosmans standards are for these pistols but I would hope they are pretty high. Of course replicating these results falls on the trigger man but it is nice to know what the gun is ultimately capable of producing.

I always viewed a 10yrd test target as just proof that pellets come out of the gun when the trigger is pulled. That’s why I could never work at a dealer. I just couldn’t resist sending an annoying customer a 2 inch spray pattern with his gun. The mental image of him doing his “unboxing” ritual of his new toy and seeing that giant group on the test target would be priceless.
