Re: Help with SCATT Mx-W2

You should see a red dot when you are calibrating. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I50FO6bAk8Y . It looks like your target is in the center of the camera, but the software is not recognizing it. One time I could not find the red dot because I had chosen the wrong target type in the so...

When you are in calibration and the preview mode box is unchecked, do you see a red dot when you are aiming at the target?

Re: Grips: natural point of aim and cant

What is the angle of your feet/hips in relationship to the target? I had a fellow shooter who stood almost 45 degrees to the target and with the orthopedic grips he would have to flex his wrists. If you stand 10 degrees or less in relation to the target you may not have to flex your wrist.

Re: 2024 Junior Olympic R&P matches?

They emailed hosting information to previous hosting site match directors. Not on their website. They used to have state minimums but I have not seen that in the last two JO cycles. Ask Ashley MacAllister at USAS for clarification. Here is a copy and paste of the sample match program for this year's...
