Hit probability for a chain‐like series of shots—a simple formula

Abstract: To find the hit probability for a series of correlated shots is, with conventional methods, a very tedious job even for the simplest statistical distributions. Experimental data, however, commonly show the shots lying chain‐like on smooth curves about the target. For this case this paper introduces a new method of finding the hit probability without the use of correlation coefficients. The method is based on a transformation, where the target is transformed into a point and each bullet into an area the size of the target.
