Thought I'd share my experience with the Silver Mt. E Targets at Camp Atterbury this past weekend as they hosted a LR Regional Match.
This group of people have it together for sure. I got there early and helped set up the targets and it was fast, so fast infact Duabe (or however he spells it!!!) had me help him set up the flags. He had me trek thru the wet grass till my feet were sopping wet no doubt part of his strategy!!
Shawn gave us new guys instructions on how to set up our devices (phones or iPads) and log onto their system which again way easy peasy. On Sat we started a 3x1000 around 9am and it was basically over by 12:30-1:00.
There was not a single hiccup during the match and it went quick. Sunday's match was about the same with one glitch as one targets battery had died....a brief cease fire and in 5 min we were back up and running..... Again very quick!
Some things I observed with the targets...... After you fire you want to instantly look at your screen which is only normal but may take you away from your game, like follow through or watching conditions. I caught myself doing this and it cost me a few points. Shooting too fast, it's easy to do because it's an instant response, this could be good or bad!! Again this being my first time with them I wasn't familiar with all the functions available and I had to fumble around a bit which is why if you can get to a match that has these targets you should. One nice thing is you can save a pic of your targets and have them for future use....You can also see the speed of each shot at the target which can help identify and high or low shots that might have seemed out of place. It was a pleasure not going to the pits which only extends match time. All in all I think they will be a welcome addition as more and more clubs obtain them.
This was a great match & group of guys who made me feel at home even though they put the smack down on me!!
I will be back with drier feet!
