Control group

Control group is which targets you want to operate. "All targets" will always be available. By choosing "all targets" you will operate all available targets. This is the default choice for most users. If you want to operate only a selection of targets, you need to select a control group. It is possible to create and manage control groups from the "control group" menu.

Shooting program

A shooting program is a recipe on how the competition should be run, like number of series/stages, target scoring definition, number of shots etc. Please select the shooting program that you are going to use.

Monitor mode

The monitor mode is to limit the possible actions the shooters monitors are allowed to during a competition. If you don´t want the shooters to get lost in menus, navigate in the shooting program or reboot the monitor during a competition you should select "Locked" or Auto mode.

Open

"Open" mode has no limitation and the shooter monitor can operate everything from navigation to all the different menus.

Locked

The Locked (auto) mode locks down most of the menus an actions.
*Auto allows the shooter to navigate from sighters to match in a block series, operate the target lift and select gauges where available. 

* Available in Q1 2023.
