10m scoring gauges.

Target scan is rubbish, my app on an iPhone 6 can't pic up the holes, even with a light box. I made this light box with a battery powered set of LED's from Scambay, They have about 15 colours and 8 light levels per colour, nothing works as it should, not even the medium blue the app comes with.

I did ask the question on the main forum, but naturally, it was ALL my fault, cos my LED's were crap, and my Phone was crap, I couldn't use the app, my car was the wrong colour, the sky was too sky coloured, there were only 12 months in a year, the sea is too wet etc etc etc.

The simple fact is, when I scan my shots, all most all the time I have to delete and/or move shots.
But I feel it's the fairest way to score for the MPL as lots of my shots are VERY close to scoring rings and there is no official scorer to make the call for me, so the app will have to do (after manually lining up shots most times).

I didn't suggest it was all your fault, more your individual phone's fault. I have an iphone 6 and use target scan and haven't had a problem. The most I had to do was put a blank target under a shot target so the holes are white instead of the dark brown of the club table. It also helped me get the phone square to the target which aids better results.

Have you tried that? I can assure you the flourescent club lighting at Parkstone is nothing special.

I did a load of MPL scoring on my light box last night as I find it works more reliably than most other ways.
It was about 80% good, only one or two shots out of 5 per target needed moving.
It was quicker to use the app for pistol cards as the running total was handy.
The single shot rifle cards were easier to do manually and just use the app for the odd 'hard to score' shot.

I'll live with it as it's the best I can do for now, but I have tried everything to get it reliable.
But as always, I'm the only one that it doesn't work for, as most things in life when I ask on a forum

I'll see if i can take a shot of how I do it next time I do. Maybe there's a clue in there. It might be a while though...

What I do know is my other 1/2's camera took better pictures on her older iphone that my newer one.
