E-Targets for F-Class

[Rick Ratzlaff]

In light of the above posts, I have a question.

If 1 cable or sensor gets shot, does that render the target out-of-order?

No.... Two shot out....yes At the Houston match all attempts were made to check the target if a sensor warning appeared to rectify it before a second sensor was possibly lost causing a 'failure to record' a shot. The self diagnostics and displayed warnings tell the shooter/scorer if there is an issue and the MD can call for the target to be pulled for diagnosis/repair.

What baffled me was the number of crossfires that neither the scorekeeper nor the shooter accepted responsibility. IMO one is unacceptable!

Hello Jenn.. I had what I thought may have been a possible crossfire. What it ended up being was a S-L-O-W response from the computer. Tim went up and down a couple of shooters next to me to see if a crossfire had occurred. NONE! Then all of a sudden it showed up on my screen! Some of the crossfires may have actually been "slow to register" from the computer. On the other hand, I am sure there were crossfires when the offender never admitted to his error..

Months before either SOLO or SM were announced, an 8-mic ‘upgrade’ for the G2 SMT was pegged at ‘around US $800’ by both the USA rep at that time as well as the Canadian developer.

Adam got news of his SM product out first, SMT’s SOLO appeared soon after.

Ok fair enough , so far there keeping one another honest with great deals on personal ETs..

We had a guy cross fire from 16 to 6 for a entire relay, drove a few crazy on the line. I was pit boss and the line kept screaming on the radio “who’s doing this”? It’s Not us! Lol we don’t have any rifles... after I got back to the line I called everyone over for a quiz and I figured out who was doing it, one of our patients was having a senior relay... ha

I can't be involved in non-PC conversations. If you want to continue this conversation, you will need to choose a new term. Shall we agree on little person?

Hmm. Little person wrestling just doesn't get it, does it? Little person rodeo? Little person tossing? I give up.

But, if there was midget soccer, you'd be glued to the TV.

that is a scorer training problem plain and simple....he should have been calling an RO when the correct target failed to go down or the e target failed to register a hit

I agree with what Scott said this is a combination of a shooter and scorer problem.

As has been said multiple times in this thread already, the 7 second delay would make this problem harder to spot quickly but it would get figured out.
(I'll go on with whatever the official NRA rule ends up being without complaining either way)

At least after the 1st non registered shot the scorer should have been watching the bullet trace.
I get bored scoring so I typically watch mirage and bullet traces in my spotting scope when scoring.

One potential bad thing about E targets is people could go around local matches an the interweb blaming the targets for something they were or weren't the cause of.

Shooter crossfiring, These things are junk, I had many / many shots my target didn't register.

Other shooters receiving hits when they didn't fire. These things are junk I kept getting false hits.

Including the people who's nature is to resist any change in life. We will eventually work thru these things and move on accepting the technology / change and carrying on with the sport / game we enjoy.

Is there a badge or sticker that says "I read all 32 pages of the E Targets Thread" damn well should be

Wait until the NRA officially released the 2019 Rule changes. That thread should go longer than this one.

There is always the ignore option or don't click on the thread if no interest.
There are plenty of threads here I have never clicked to open if not interesting to me.

I typically don't click on any of the benchrest or f class threads cuz I have little interest in that form of shooting except for things that are nice for a person operating a 600 yard range for other disciplines besides just the one I am interested in.

A good number of the posts in this thread are only about how many posts the thread is up to... lol

Cheers

That's the beauty of WiFi, especially outdoors. Methinks you are such a porcelain, you were absorbing the RF from the AP. Also, next time, leave your portable microwave oven in your car, you don't need it while you're on the firing line.

I wish I had some idea what you're saying>>> But alas, I am not tech savvy and have no idea what you're saying..

Just curious... how many APs were used at the TSRA match?

A microwave oven uses the unlicensed RF band at 2.4gHz. That's the same RF ban used by WiFi. I have seen where supposedly "leak-proof" microwave ovens play havoc with WiFi in a house. I tend to favor the other common unlicensed RF band at 5gHz, and so my house has repeaters to make sure that signal is everywhere. This RF band is immune to microwave ovens.

We used only one AP. I discussed with Adam about the location of the antenna in the unit and then I oriented said unit in a way to maximize coverage, I checked the signal up and down the line and after the orientation adjustment, I was getting a steady signal at around-57dB throughout the 23 firing points.

We experienced a few delays, throughout the weekend, but they were few and far between. I had to pull some stuff out of my wizard bag to make sure Ben was the recipient of these few delays.

While I was shooting, I believe I noticed one delay of about 5-8 seconds on one of my shots. Considering I shot 120 rounds for record and a shipload of sighters on Saturday, that was nothing. On Friday, I aimed about 500 rounds in total and never experienced a delay.
