Re: measuring groups.
Thought I might, but thanks, no. It's probably nice, but i'll stick with my tape measure. I'm only shooting against myself, or my buddies. We measure from outside of "hole" to outside of hole. I hate computers. Only reason I'm here, is cause I learn a lot, and I get to "talk" to people with similar interests, and values.You computer guy's have fun with it. I'm in awe. I look at some of the programs, and just go cross-eyed.

Re: measuring groups.
What's wrong with using a caliper to measure the widest point and subtracting the width of the bullet? Is this program that accurate?

Thanks! I've been wondering how to get it as well.

Re: measuring groups.
A caliper is more accurate anyway. Lots of "garbage in, garbage out" with software.

Re: measuring groups.
Seems like this would be a problem for parallax if you took pictures of the targets at an angle. Does anyone know the guy who wrote the app?

I would think it would solve this problem to just scan the target.

Re: measuring groups.
Sure if you have a scanner. Most folks these days want simple/fast. Seems like the target recording apps out there leave a lot to be desired or are too expensive. I might have a look into that...

Re: measuring groups.
The app is pretty cheap. I might download it just to compare with my manual method. I'm going shooting this weekend (as long as the weather holds). I'll let you guys know how it works.

Re: measuring groups.
I like the program because it's free (or was) and gives more info then just group size without using calipers and math. Readings are in inches and moa at whatever distance. Just like anything, crap in equals crap out. Still I think it's a useful tool, especially in load development.

Re: measuring groups.
Key to the program is to make sure that when you set the scale you are using a distance that is longer than 6". That will get rid of a bunch of calculation errors. It isn't perfect but it works and is handy for keeping visual record of different loads.
