[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 2115445, member: 98025"] Okay....so, here’s an update. I really wish it was ALL positive. I’m gonna be as impartial and objective as I can considering the limited time I’ve had to use/mess with this and admittedly the weather conditions here lately have not been the best. Honestly, the weather here has sucked. So....with that being said I went out this morning and shot a ladder with the .300 Win Mag (Berger 215’s, H1000, ADG brass, Federal GM215 M’s) at 500 yards. Temperature was 28 degrees and very little wind, but we got hit with an ice-storm a couple days ago and EVERYTHING is covered in ice......which melts quite nicely when your legs are on top of it 🥶. I only have 5 consecutive photos showing the progression because I experienced some ‘connectivity issues’. I had to get up after each shot and walk @ 75-100 yards to the crest of a small rise in front of my shooting position (prone) with the base unit and tablet and then things would ‘connect’ again and allow me to take screen-shots of the last fired shot. I’ll blame these issues on the ‘lay of the land’ and guess that the slight rise directly in front of my shooting position might have blocked line of sight connectivity and prevented proper WiFi reception......and as such upon returning to my shooting position the base unit would disconnect again. That was a little aggravating for me and it showed up on the target especially in the beginning with the lower charge weights (note the ‘called shots’ on the final target pic) 😡. It was on shot #6 that I was unable to re-establish connectivity and had to walk the 500 yards to the target only to find that the main camera unit had shut off for some reason and I never was able to get it to turn back on and as a result re-establish connectivity.
