      You should check out the Bullseye camera system it's a little more compact. I would personally wait a year or so before purchasing this type of set up because it is evolving very quickly and will probably get even better and cheaper in the near future.

        I recall the Bullseye, about a year ago thinking......give it about a year and something better/cheaper will emerge. Matching the one mile range at half the cost...kinda got Bullseye beat.

          Or you could use a old cell phone and this app, just need to make up a stand: https://www.my-alfred.com/
          Beer is like porn, you can buy it but it's more fun to make your own

          I have to bend over too far

          I get a boner.

          bareback every couple of days, GTG. Bareback, brokeback, same $hit!

          I joined a support group to help me deal with my social anxiety but I just can't seem to work up the nerve to go to a meeting......

              Sweet app. Does the camera phone need to active? Or just need WiFi access I wonder.

                I helped a friend get set up with his bullseye camera. He claims bullseye told him if it ever takes a bullet they'll send him a free replacement. The software is kind of clever. There is a live video mode, but there is also a "shooting mode". In shooting mode you press a button every time you take a shot. The camera then takes a still photo and begins flipping back and forth between the latest still photo and the previous one. This makes your latest bullet hole appear to blink for easy identification.

                  Good point, I have a few set up around the house as a home security camera setup using my wifi. I can view them with my cell phone when I'm out or with a browser on my desktop when I'm at work. To utilize this rig at the range I suppose both phones would have to be active on a data plan (damn, every time I think I've got the system beat.....).

                    Yep, that's what I was thinking too. My mobile hotspot definitely won't reach out to 200 yards.

                      I have a simple cannon camera with a x40 optical zoom that I can put next to me and see precise target hits 400-500 yards away w/o moving anything.
                      All one needs is a strong bipod so it will not budge with the wind or shooting vibration. I can also record and a tiny battery will give me 2hrs given there
                      is space in the sd card or the choosen resolution. But one doesn't have to record to be able to use the camera.
                      It has a little til screen so all I have to do is to move my eyes to the left and a bit above to see the picture. I don't even have to change my shooting
                      position putting the camera at 10 oclock and a bit high up.

                      It is a shame when people demanding tolerance, have no tolerance

                          Meke, are you reading hits on a splash target at those distances or holes in a regular paper target?
