LOL - someone was going down! Shades of SWN.

Note to self: Keep tablet out of ejected brass path.

I place my iPad to the left side, still manage to brush it with my knuckle and change targets. It does confuse me for a second or two when I don't see my shot appear or see another shot show up.

It should be easy to build an option on the UI to "lock" the screen once the shooter starts shooting (strictly optional). Then it would take an explicit tap to unlock the UI and change anything on the screen.

Hey we all call it high power to strangers sometimes who don’t ask for details. Which sounds better? It took a lot of guts to invent a division where the gun absorbs its own recoil, sits by itself on two rests, steers by a joystick, wears a big scope, and is named F-Class with the stated purpose of prolonging one’s shooting.

I still like to remind people, from time to time; the "F" stands for Farquharson which is the name of the originator George Farquharson, of Kamloops, BC. The original rules called for "any rifle, any sights, fired from any rest including a bag of horse feathers". George was a long time high power shooter who had competed around the world. He was also a bit of an experimenter and wanted to be able to shoot some of his rifles which were not 308's and also wanted to attract new shooters to the full bore ranks.
A lot of us who shot "F" class, early on, switched to shooting with a sling as time went on. From the outset, there two factions; one which subscribed to the target rifle with a rest or bipod and the other which subscribed to the "benchrest without the bench" methodology.
Today, the divisions are even more splintered with F/TR (308 or 223, with a bipod) and F-O (F open) and few shooters opt to shoot using a bag of horse feathers. WH
