Agreed about the practical solution to use on an AP practice range but the difference is maybe not so slight! Scatt software was a free download the last time I looked. Try hanging a 10m air pistol target at 50 feet: the scoring rings on a 50m precision pistol target reduced for 50 foot gallery shoo...

To answer the original question directly, engraved on one of my cylinders with the rest of the mfg data: "VOLUMEN .068L"

The 25 Yd free-pistol target is B-35: "International 25-Yard Slow Fire Pistol Target (50 meter international slow fire target reduced for use at 25 yards)" Not commonly stocked but appear to be available directly from National Target.

You may notice that Scatt "throws" the shot proportionally to how fast the aiming trace was moving at trigger break. This does mimic real-life and is potentially a training tool to encourage trigger release at the stillest phase of one's hold. If you want to tune Scatt's f-coefficient to y...

Think of home trainers as instrumented dry-fire: when in the shot process is the shooter's hold steadiest? exactly how does a shooter's trigger pull affect his/her hold? is the shooter truly following through? Scatt, Rika and Noptel answer these questions exactly, but do no more than that. What to d...

Ah yes, the Scatt "F-coefficient." On my USB model, Scatt "slings" the virtual shot hole in the direction the trace is moving when the shot breaks. This is easy to see in shot replays. The F-coefficient tells it how much - zero doesn't throw the shot at all, a high number throws ...

Xman, Ten years shooting before needing seal replacement seems pretty good! Pity us poor(?) PCP shooters who may be looking at programmed cylinder replacement at ten years.... My point was I don't think you can fault the oil here. Your seals are going to wear out eventually no matter what oil you us...

So what are the long-term Izzy shooters out there using? Someone speak up! If you've had a full ten years seal life with Gamo oil and no hint of dieseling, why fret? Apparently it works just fine. Technically, the big issue with springer and SSP lubrication is the flashpoint of the oil and what's sa...

Aha! The Voice of Experience! I stand corrected.

There's some crossed signals here about oil and airguns, because the reasons for choosing aren't the same for every variety of gun. The big one is: dont use petroleum oils in spring-piston guns. When the piston is released the rapid pressure & temperature rise may cause "dieseling" or ...

Just now back home from the Spring Airgun matches in Colorado Springs. I Priority Mailed my cylinders to and from and packed my Steyr with a dummy cylinder I made up for Scatt use. When leaving Seattle, TSA didn't want me to unlock the pistol case: "We don't look in those any more." On the...

I have the very same carrier on my practice range, and one of these days (it's been years now) will get around to making a more suitable target frame for it. In the meantime I simply insert targets only as far as the 1-ring. This seems to hold them perfectly securely. So far I haven't managed to cha...

melchloboo, If you take a close look at Scatt aiming traces, you'll see that the center of the virtual shot hole is often not exactly at the trigger release point. A closer look will show that Scatt has shifted POI in the direction the trace was moving at the time: the faster the movement, the bigge...

Rob, There's a distinction to be made here between the older Scatt Professional and the more recent Scatt USB: there's no provision in the USB version for physical adjustment of the sensor - all of the fine tuning is done by clicking and dragging a virtual shot hole to where you think it ought to be...

Oz, shooting blind across a hallway seems (as my kids put it) sketchy, from a range-safety point of view. My own setups are: Scatt in the laundry at 5 meters - for safety and domestic harmony only photons flying across the basement, and an ISSF regulation 10 meter rig at work - trap and target on th...

The AP box is: 420mm x 200mm x 50mm

I wouldn't think the aluminum alloy quality would be an issue. It's not an especially highly stressed part, and FWB has been pretty good about material specification - their alu rifle stocks for instance are considerably less fragile than the Anschutz competition.... Don't concern yourself about wei...

I can't speak to the maintenance question #1 because I've got the older version, but like bjsulla I keep the damper clean and lightly oiled. As for #2, I believe the light absorber is intended to quicken the cycle re ISSF rapid fire use now that .22 Short RF pistols are a thing of the past & if ...

Aha! Quite a bit different from my '05 steel version. I'm behind the times as usual....
