Well, the Silver Mountain Stand-Along target is officially in service.  We had a class for prospective users a couple of weeks age and the system was declared ready for use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know if anyone else has used it so far, but on Tuesday I needed to do a quick sight-in to verify a zero and I set up the system on the 200-yard target frames. There is no better way to see any shortcomings in a system that to have to try to use it yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hang the SMT target holder just to the left of the two Coroplex backers – there are no nails in the top rail there<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things went together very easily until I got ready to hook up the battery;\u00a0 Oops, it was still in the cabinet up at the clubhouse.\u00a0 Lesson 1 \u2013 remember to bring the battery downrange<\/strong>.\u00a0 After another trip back and forth, I was ready to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next thing I discovered was that my iPhone didn\u2019t display all of the image from the SMT system.\u00a0 We had noticed this on some phones during the class, but I hadn\u2019t checked it out on my phone.\u00a0 But \u2013 it was good enough and I got my rifle shooting where I wanted to shoot in about 10 rounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, I invited another member who was doing some sight in work to use the system since I had it set up and operating.  He had two rifles and the first one sighted in very quickly in about five shots.  The second had a wonky scope in it and after a number of shots, we gave up on that particular rifle.  The member agreed that the SMT system was a lot easier and quicker than driving up and down the range to see what effect a change in scope settings might have done.<\/p>\n\n\n

Don’t judge the shooter – this was because of a bad scope<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of this session, I will make some improvements to the stand-alone system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0I will provide Coroplex backers with 100, 200 and 300 yard target faces on them that can be used with the target frame.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Since iPhones and Android phones may not properly display the SMT target images, I am going to dedicate an iPad to the stand-alone system.\u00a0 It will be in the cabinet with the SMT system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • I will add a multi-station charger to the cabinet to allow the two batteries and the iPad to be charged after use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        I am ready to hold another class whenever I get four or five people who request it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
