    Targetscan said 10,9,8,8,7.

    Do you have to calibrate it or summat?
    Hello Roy, dare I ask if you read the Help section on the app?

    I know men don't like to read instructions but I find it really helps and hasn't made me bleed once a month or have mood swings for no reason at all.

    You do need to tell it how many shots its looking for.......

    It's really easy to use if you spend a little time on it.

    I would also add it doesn't pick up shots out of the black very well if at all. I stopped shooting in the white a while ago but might be worth considering if 'you' (anyone reading this) don't tent to keep all your shots in the black. If it knows you shot 5 but can only see 3 it will drop 2 in which you can manually move.

    Will try reading the help section(yeah right! )
    And isn't manually moving shots called cheating?

    Cheers.

    Yeah, why would anyone buy an app to help them and then cheat? I've always thought anyone like that should just buy themselves a trophy, cut out the middleman.
    I'd suggest you learn to use it now you've spent the money, it's actually very good. I'd love to have an electronic target system but dont have a spare £1-2K.

    Also, every comp I've entered requires the shooters to keep their cards for random checking or possibly because of all the 50 x50s?

    Wasn't been sarcastic Roy

    I was stating I don't know why someone would cheat; only cheating themselves. Not a dig at you.

    Mind you I do know of a chap at a club I shot at years ago who was found to have been cheating with his BR cards. Using a knitting needle to punch the holes!

    That didn't do him much good as I recall. Banned from the club and Membership cancelled. Not good for club either.
