Thanks Roman
I have been working with Jurgen to resolve the 25 yard target questions and have some support@ tickets pending, but for wider assistance, this is the position as I understand it, with some requests included:
1. The 25 yard NSRA competitions in the Shootmaster library have two problems. They do not load across to the MF5R1. Building a new competition with a newly defined NSRA 25 yard target solved the first load problem, so when Meyton is loading frames with 25 yard NSRA targets for dispatch to ESTA5-Mobile only customers (i.e. those who do not have Shootmaster), please look again at that library items and make sure that they are loadable and loaded. The NSRA measurements are supplied by Iain in this string, plus a link to the NSRA website rules. These contain all the relevant NSRA distances and measurements.
3. The NSRA competition cards are generally 10 shot, not 20. It would help to incorporate 10 shot and 20 shot NSRA 25, 20 and 15 yard competitions in the library for prone (out to 5 or 4 ring) and standing/kneeling (out to 1 ring).
4. The NSRA target definition we have made shows 4 very large "10s" in the centre of the target. I hope that there is a way that these can be removed or be scaled down.
5. A useful feature of electronic targets is to allow simulated 50m training indoors at 25 yards during the winter. To achieve this, the ISSF 50m target needs to be scaled down and the calibre similarly scaled. While writing, the ISSF height calculation is also a factor in 25 yard 50m simulation. I have prepared a spreadsheet that shows the target definition measurements and height, based on a custom wooden stand that is flush with the bottom of the .22 shot protection plate. The calculations can be adjusted depending on the shooters floor to barrel centre height (i.e. for a shooter with a barrel height of 25 cm, the distance from the floor to the bottom of the protection plate needs to be about 36 cm to simulate a 50m target at with its centre at 100 cm above the floor (or about 59 cm floor to target centre if you prefer)). The scaling factor is 0.4572. The spreadsheet is here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/q8hd3a5m39gfl ... .xlsx?dl=0 and the barrel height adjustment is marked in red and feeds the formulae and heights below it.
As distance scaling and target design is not a function available to Meyton users with ESTA5-Mobile only (i.e. without Shootmaster), it would be very helpful if Meyton would include 60 shot prone and 3x20 and 3x40 25 yard simulated/scaled ISSF 50m matches as standard for the UK market.
For this, the 25y scaled 50m ISSF target definition needs ring numbers. These don't render in the target we have made, as the scaling down seems to have this effect.
In the the 25y scaled 50m ISSF target the shot numbers are too large for the scaled down calibre, so ideally the shot numbers need to scale with calibre.
6. Some UK outdoor ranges (such as Worplesdon) are set up as 50 yards and due to the position of the butts, 50m can't be accommodated. For ISSF 50m equivalent shooting at these ranges, a scaling factor of 0.9144 would need to be adopted. As above, scaled 50 yard options would potentially be a helpful addition to the library that is supplied to ESTA5-Mobile only target customers. These calculations are also included in the spreadsheet.
7. ESTA5-Mobile doesn't yet allow for virtual pdf printing while on the range and the competition data is lost when the target is switched off. This is a problem. I understand that an ESTA5 upgrade will be ready soon that allows virtual pdf printing, so that a shot competition can be saved to the device immediately after shooting, to be printed through the device's normal print set up, rather than via a network printer connected to the target network (which is the only way at the moment).
