[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 80560, member: 25"] Suggest that you re-read your manual. Standard distance from start screen to muzzle is 10 feet. Get your screens farther apart as suggested, I had a machinist friend make me a setup for exactly five foot total, second screen is at 2.5 feet from start screen. The longer aluminum conduit is a great idea. Your switches have to match the distance your screens are apart, they are under your battery. I always check them by comparing with the chart in the manual. Used to use a ten foot spacing, that is more accurate but more diffictult to setup. I also doubt that 53 feet is long enough to provide the velocity difference you are needing, the big 83 systems that I have seen in use all have the second set of screens at 100 yards. Tougher to shoot through the screens way out there but much better info. I routinely shoot through my Oehler screens all the way out to 500 yards, have two 35P's so I can get a muzzle velocity and down range velocity. Have a steel baffle setup to protect the tripods and screens and have killed several skyscreens over the years - even snipped a cable right were it entered the skyscreen body. Good luck, you have a good machine, just get some experience with it and you will learn a lot. [/QUOTE]
