A year of shooting shots

Close on a year ago (15/4/14, to be precise) I posted some results and analysis from my first 2,250 shots down at the primary school.  I hadn't yet standardised my shooting drill, so the data included a large variety of shooting scenarios - 15' and 30', moving and stationary, set shots and rebounds.  There's no way now of teasing out stats that are directly comparable to what I've been keeping records on since (ie. almost exclusively 'circuits' of 100 stationary shots from 15', divided equally into 'sets' of 25 shots each, being snap wrist shots, wristers, forward facing snaps and backhands).

In the last year I have routinised my shooting drills, and since July 13, 2014 have kept stats on 4000 shots from comparable drills.  The bulk have been in this calendar year (in the last three months, actually). 4000 is a good number to work with, giving me 1000 each of the four types of shot that I've been using.

In between April and July I had a handful of sessions down the school, but they were sessions involving a wide variety of techniques (including slapshots!), I won't use those figures in this analysis.  Except to say that I've probably put about 7000 shots on target at my shooting range since the project commenced.

So, without further ado, I'll now summarise the results of my shooting expeditions, and perhaps draw out a few trends if they are evident on the numbers...
