Why does that matter? You can just shoot more animals. Better yet, shoot dummy alts in your basement. Just patch him up if you KO him.

honestly when I typed that out I was thinking a bear would be the perfect target for such a test...and since they're on the endangered species list(so hard to find when you're out hunting) I thought low quality would let you get more shots and a better control in the test, but the dummy alts in the basement sounds better since you'll actually know the agility and can get a better calculation on damages. :P

and I work nights and should be in bed right now, but I can't sleep

edit: then again with a lower quality sling/bow your mm bar would go up slower and could still be of better use when actually trying to get exact spot in the aim bar...so maybe dummy alt in basement with low quality to get the most controlled environment to test this? I may do it later and record the results but no promises...

A buddy of mine that I live with suggested raising it up to 30 MM before trying anything with a Sling. I didn't know about the Q capping the MM that is used, though. I just thought it affected damage.
