I just spent all my ammo money on the Noptel Sport, so I hope it is the best!

I've been curious about the differences between these systems. Why someone believes that one might have an advantage over another.

From simple, informal general discussions I've had with users, RIKA at one time seemed to have a slight edge in popularity. However, in light of SCATT's new role in 'virtual' matches, this seems to be a new, significant advantage. As long as these new virtual matches are met with approval and have success.

Hopefully those "in the know" will be able to point out the differences with the systems.

They're all slightly different, work in slightly different ways and have different software. There isn't really a best model you just need to decide your requirements and then decide which ticks most of the boxes. Make yourself a list of must haves and nice to haves and then decide.

I presently shoot air pistol at home, and can always improve.
I was looking at a computerized system, mainly because I would like to shoot 22lr free pistol at home, and eventually will buy a semi for target shooting and will shoot at home as well.

RIKA
Software in need of update
Different speeds for Slow Motion Playback help visualisation
Variable amount of time of recording before and after shot
Statiscs hard to understand at first glance
Target design tool, for regulation targets

NOS Sport
Accepts Turning Targets for Rapid Fire
Aiming Curve hard to understand
Allows multiple shooters/teams simultaneously, don't know if you need a hub to connect all the cables since computers have limited usb inputs and usually one ethernet input.
Preset Targets for Printing
Statistics - Hold, Aim, Trigger
No cables needed to connect to target
Sensor on gun uses a phone line cable
Timer on target page of the laptop display
Accuracy 10M-0.3 mm 50M-1.7mm

SCATT
Distance from center graph
Prints targets calibrated for relative distance, for practice in smaller than real distance rooms
Target needs to be connected by cable to computer
Can't shoot real ammunition, to compare and calibrate live shooting to virtual results.
Trigger sensor is an extra.
