Probably only valuable to new folks, but here is a Quick Reference PDF to the Drop Test Results. Updated an error.

I just checked—three drop evals were conducted and it shifted significantly during all three on the 36” drops. Thats a fail, but the pdf shows it as green.

This is helpful for a lot of people, but I think its a huge oversimplification that legitimately may not be helpful to simply “red/yellow/green” scopes that failed differently in different parts of the eval. I think it would reflect much more useful data and reflect better on the eval itself to provide a separate column on the spreadsheet for each PART of the eval (ex. A column for each of: tracking/ return to zero, 18” drops, single 36” drops, 3x36”, 3000rounds/3000miles, etc) so people can see where and how each scope failed, and also which parts of the eval were even conducted—because not every eval is complete.

Thanks for the callout; edit made.
