Electronic Target Frame at 200-Yard Line<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Club has a  stand alone Silver Mountain Target system.  This system is for everyone to use (after a class), but it hasn\u2019t been used all that much.  I asked around a bit and one reason was that with the prohibition of driving vehicles across the range to the 200-yard target stands, the frame is just too bulky for one person to lug around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, that\u2019s right- it is pretty hefty – especially for old guys.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why not leave the frame up on the 200-yard target stand and just move the box of electronics and a target face and backer when you want to use it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frame and plastic are weather resistant, so there is no reason not to leave them – except they may be abused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, we are going to do an experiment to see if the electronic frame can stay in place and not get abused or destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. Please do not use the electronic frame to post practice targets.\u00a0 Please use cardboard or other backers for non-electronic targets.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

B.\u00a0 If you use the electronic target, please use a 24 x 36 inch target backer (available in the clubhouse) to mount your target face.\u00a0 Don\u2019t staple a face to the big plastic sheet.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the frame survives for a week or so it will be mounted more permanently and if this experiment works out well, we will look into putting a similar frame on the 100-yard target stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, by the way – there is an iPad for a display and batteries on charge in the locker – enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
