I surmise it's not the sensor itself, but the jack you plug the cable into. I've seen them get loose; sloppy loose! And some cable plugs are 3.5 mm and others are 0.125" Not much difference for sure, but with tolerances I found that 3.5 mm plugs worked better. Could be the plating on the plug too. I replaced a number of cables on our 14 position system and it solved most problems. The jacks in a couple microphones got so loose I just replaced the mics. I'm tempted to replaced the jacks in the troublesome mics, but that's more fooling than I want to deal with right now.I think the answers I have received thus far will likely help us avoid problems with connection and shots not being counted - Thanks again everyone!
So this leaves the question about sensors which appears to be not connected sometimes. If one can be sure that it is connected and the cord is good, then does that leave the possibility of sensor failure?
Also be sure your transmitter is in line of sight to the access point. Initially, ours were mounted below the target frame by as much as 12". They were there because, hitting the transmitter is expensive - a $500 fix. The way our butts are set up, some of those transmitters were slightly obscured. When they were relocated to the top right corner of the target frame, performance improved.
