F Class on Elecronic targets at Goulburn
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 11:24 am
Yesterday, Saturday 7th, the Goulburn Rifle Club went live with the OzScore Electronic Target System (www.ozscore.com.au)
Geoff Roberts and his crew arrived at the range at 9.30 am, and commenced to install the Target and the Target Computer. The target frame was pre-fabricated by Geoff's team as a custom fit for our existing target carriers. All of the work necessary at the Butts was completed in 3 hours, including the battery pack and solar charger and testing of the equipment.
So it was down to the 400 yard line for our regular Club shoot. The Master Mound Display Unit (MDU), and two additional MDU's were deployed, the battery connected and some basic instruction for the first three shooters (yes three) given by Geoff, and within 30 minutes live fire commenced.
The system worked from the very first shot. We had 3 concurrent shooters firing on a single electronic target. Apart from some minor tweeking with the position of the "shot detector" in front of one shooter, the system performed extreamly well.
In fact, one of our members shot above his personal best, and two new members having their first F Class shoot, were thrilled to score in the high 50's ( one shot a 60.7).
Credit must go to Geoff and his crew for his customer service and his willingness to to work with the Club to plan ahead for the installation.
The Club acknowledges the significant financial Grant provided by the NSW Government's Dept. Sport and Recreation for this project.
