im intrigued by that program, and i have a question for the experts- im not going to pull test (or whip on) my aliens, but i would like to minimize my risk just a little bit. if i run my cams through that program, what is an acceptable range of cam angles, and when should consider a cam unsafe or unusable?
what is the range of values seen from the companies who are never (rarely?) accused of poor manufacturing practice? if i cam-angle-tested 20 metolius cams, and 20 bd cams, would they be 14 (or whatever) deg +/- 2 degrees? or less? or right on every time?
im assuming there is some play in the real-world manufacturing processes, and some further uncertainty would be introduced by my own photo taking and curve-fitting. i know one way to control for this is to do lots of angle checks on all my other cams, but im curious if there's an answer nonetheless.
