Older targets were sometimes linked to thermal printers like the Suis targets at the LRC Bisley but can also have an out put to a desktop printer but again only the scores and represented shot placement not full size. You have the target, screen on firing point with your scores and a visual target and shot placement graphic and a printer for printing off the scores. All manufactures still support their older products as the targets last a long time. We have a mixture of thermal and inkjet printers.
It's not that we don't have anybody who knows how to use them, (we certainly do), its that the club is completely dysfunctional and one group wont help another group ....... club politics ......

The 15 electronic targets that we have on the 50m prone range are all linked together, you can use the meyton screens or use tablets / laptops.
They have a projector that can be set up for competitions that puts all the stats on a big screen.
They have an inkjet printer as part of that network.
Unfortunately very few people shoot prone these days so they don't see a lot of use which is a real shame, it is an impressive system when its used for the larger shoots.

We had purchased 4 targets for 10m air but almost as soon as they arrived the 10m air range was removed and for several years we couldn't shoot any 10m air so the targets went into storage.
After several years, out of frustration i set in a temporary 10m range in the clubhouse attic just to try and rekindle interest so we now have one electronic for 10m but it's set up as a stand alone unit and isn't part of the main meyton network so can't print.

I use the TargetScan app on my ipad, it scans cards and then scores / generates various stats from, also allows you to add notes for each session, all very useful and i use it for keeping track of training and competitions across various disciplines.
Im was just wondering if there was a way to generate a full size target printout from the electronic target that i can scan using the TargetScan app, its just so that all my shooting can be recorded in one place.

It should be, it really should be, but there is virtually no interest, people seem to have lost all interest in competitive disciplines and are more interested in "plinking and socialising" than target shooting.
