The main problem is to find such a software.
Tracking skill gains isn't a problem we have plenty of good software for that.

Even tracking hits and misses isn't a problem - Witte has written a program for that. The problem is not really recording the data any more.

Like I say above, I think we should be able to determine any noticeable change to skilling rate from attachments fairly easily - its simply that no-one has done it and published yet.

The problem with hit/miss is that there's too many factors involved and the change from scopes/sights is small. People with the same skills and same equipment record significantly different results. People hunt differently, people have different network connectivity, people hunt under different server loads, etc, etc. Trust me, its really hard to do, lots of people have already tried and there's still nothing particularly conclusive in terms of results.
