    This would be Handy

    Trying to get a couple of other banjo players to pitch in with me, for one of these.
    I reckon it would be bloody handy and save some time when by yourself.

    1000m range is pretty impressive.

    A man would get awful lazy not having to get off his arse to check his target.

    I'd be impressed if it could patch them too.

    I have been known to use my video camera and the zoom when sighting in and load developing at 100m

    Cheers

    My only fear would be that I might shoot it at longer ranges. Doesn't say much about my shooting eh
    veitnamcam, R93 and initiaz like this.
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    Wouldn't think you would need it with a swaro scope Dave

    Does look like a cool toy tho,would just be software that does the logging etc? Some clever person like Gadjet could probably do it.

    Could be a go for gadget.
    Software is the issue as it works on a phone.

    Seeing this is the reloading sub forum, and you were talking about banjos I assumed you had found this video

    Just about. Electronically yes, but would need a couple of cheap Chinese won-ton frying scoops to turn the wi-fi antennas into directional beasts. Was done many years ago to set up a slow wi-fi connection between Somes Island and Petone.

    Would two of those cheap cell phones do it?
