Here is another way you can look at groups in terms of capabilities. The one group you had in question showed a couple of things. First, your extreme vertical was about one inch or about 1/2 minute. When we test loads at 300 and beyond, we tend to look at vertical dispersion more than lateral as there may be winds we can't pick up. Your lateral dispersion was about 3 1/2 inches or about 1 3/4 minute. The lateral dispersion you show would not be acceptable at 200 but at 300 it would be given we had winds we couldn't keep on top of for the string. That gives you an idea as to how we look at performance changes as conditions change.
Anyway, another way you can measure things is to add your extreme horizontal dispersion and your extreme vertical dispersion together and divide by two. In this case you have 3.5" + 1" = 4.5". 4.5" / 2 = 2.25" And, 2.25 inches @ 200 yards is about 1 1/4 minutes. This technique doesn't tell you if your load is stringing -- only a average size. However, it does give you a practical value that you can use for decisions. It also shows you that perhaps the load isn't that bad after all.
