I still don't quite get this electronic target thing completely. Looks to me like it would be just the same to shoot at 100 yards and measure the accuracy in moa rather than trying to let a computer translate that out to some longer range. I see no reason to project the group size out to a longer range. Shooting .4 moa is good at any distance!
LOL That rifle looks REALLY familiar!
It's a video feed, showing your 1000 yd target and your shots as they hit it.
I was using BDC marks as well, before I went out to Dead Zero.
The rangemaster got me to dialing really fast.Yeah, but it's still just extending a .4 moa group out to some abstract longer range, right? You could do the same on paper. I still say that's darned good shooting at any range. Especially with a rifle that kicks that hard - a lot different than a heavy barrel 222!
An actual target at 1000 yds, with a camera on it. I shot a distance of 1000 yards at a target that was set up at 1000 yards and the camera just showed where I hit and relayed the video/picture back to the iPad. The cameras are set up under a berm in front of each target, at each distance. Lots of cameras. And I also ranged the targets and got 1001 yds.Yeah, but it's still just extending a .4 moa group out to some abstract longer range, right? You could do the same on paper.

OR are you saying that there is an actual target at 1,000 yards with a camera sitting nearby? IF that's the case why doesn't it show a paper target. I still don't get what is going on here,
Why the little computer generated circles rather than a literal picture of the target with actual bullet holes? That would irritate me. That seems to defeat the purpose of having a camera right there at the target that can see the actual bullet holes.An actual target at 1000 yds, with a camera on it.

My buddies are shooting a mile now, and even a might further, but, they all have custom barrels and high end optics, along with the latest apps and ballistic calculators, and all I have is a stock Remington Sendero and a Nikon Prostaff 7 5x20x50 scope, so far.
I'll take a good shooter with a "stock" weapons system over a $3000 custom system and a poor shooter any day.

Youre exactly right! That same guy that I posted about thinking he could buy my rifle has since spent untold THOUSANDS of dollars buying guns, optics, rangefinders, etc.... and still hasn't done anything I haven't done with my basically stock setup. He called me once from Wyoming bragging about now "having the record" for the longest kill, 950 yds I think he said. I asked him if it was a one shot deal, NO, he had to walk it in. Then I told him he was still 148 yds from my "record". LOL. Broke his heart! Hes also told me numerous times "Richard, you've costed me a damn fortune, I hope you know that!" Its not always the machine, most of it is that nut behind the trigger.I'll take a good shooter with a "stock" weapons system over a $3000 custom system and a poor shooter any day. Let'r eat.
You're the weapon....the rifle is just a tool.
OK, so the camera isn't out by the target then? Seems to me that would be the logical way to set up such a system so you could look at actual photos of the target using a camera with high enough resolution to see bullet holes. I know trying to see holes at that distance any other way would lead to lots of frustration! I recently, against my better judgement, bought a cheapo Bushnell spotting scope to see bullet holes for 100 yard sighting so I wouldn't walk myself to death sighting in multiple rifles. I got about what I paid for - you can BARELY make out a bullet hole at that distance. It's not really needed with my heavy barrel varmint guns with their higher power scopes but is needed for deer rifles especially if the bullet hole lands in certain areas such as the edge of a bullseye.
No the cameras are out there in front of the targets at each distance. They just transmit the video images back to the iPads wirelessly. Pretty straight forward .
OK, I guess I was just thinking the shooter would get a real picture of the target with bullet holes in it rather than those computer generated circles. It has to know where the real holes are to know where to put those circles. Looks like they are making the system more complicated than it needs to be. Anyhow, good shooting!
Well, now you got me all confused again.
I was confident that I was seeing real stuff there based on real holes in paper but now you are making me think again that there is some kind of sensor determining where the bullet is hitting instead. I'm going to go out this weekend and shoot some tin cans with my single action Colt Peacemaker to try to get over this high tech confusion. IF it goes CLUNK and falls you hit it. I can understand that! LOL
