How do camera spotter systems work? Are camera spotter scopes set at the firing line that shooters rewind and watch on a screen in HD or are cameras set near the targets in a safe area to record shots that shooters watch on a tablet from the firing line or some other method?
I'm trying to figure out what spotting system to go with since I expect I'll be shooting alone (without a spotter) a fair amount if possible. It's hard to find friends to come out for long range shooting or get their own membership.
People shooting longer distances sometimes move to steel targets as they provide immediate visual and auditory feedback. If you have a decent scope (glass quality and magnification above 15X), you can usually also see impacts on steel.
The paper shooters will use a wireless camera setup that has the camera at the target line, offset to the target but able to see the impacts, and the receiver at the firing line. The two communicate and display on a smart phone or tablet.
If you're shooting on Range 4, you could also ask (at the time of hte safety brief when everyone is gathered) for spotting help. Most of those guys have spotters and can assist.
As a reminder, any QSC member in good standing can bring a guest for a day's shooting for only a $10 range fee.
