Hello all.

Couple of questions here.

-Is there a complete package that incorporates scatt style shot analysis, biometric recording, ambient conditions, including wind, recording, with data analysis / visualisation for coaches and spectators?

-Are there any shooter training systems that have a wind called vs true, recording and analysis capability? ie. anemometer input recording and "flags on shot" photo recording. If not...

-Are there any out door rifle shooting, manually entered electronic score sheets that might look something like... http://www.icfra.co.uk/page16.htm If so do any of them have data basing, data analysis and data visualisation capability?

-Is there anyone working on a data portability standard for communication between existing Shooter training systems and Electronic target software?

I don't know of any available visualisation tools for shooting. However I work for Swansea University (UK), which is an internationally acclaimed centre for research in computer visualisation technologies, and we would be very interested in working with shooting sports at an international/olympic team level, to explore new possibilities.

We are currently working on advanced solutions for Rugby, Football and Snooker, involving our departments of computer science and sport science, with partners in the UK, Hong Kong, Germany and the US.

I am a former international shooter and other members of staff have worked with the GB shooting team in other areas. As part of our current project we have looked at Scatt, so we are already familiar with what could be done.

Flow,

I wrote an excel spreadsheet for collegiate shooting. For each shot you put in the value and the direction (12oc, 3oc, etc) and it computed some graphs for you. The graphs were a simple line graph of you shot values, a radar graph of the number of shots in each direction, points dropped in each direction, and points dropped per shot in each direction. Not exactly scatter plots, but better than nothing. I'll post it here when I get home tonight.

Flow,

I can't upload the sheet because the spreadsheet is too big at 4MB, PM me an email address and I'll send it to you. Below are the directions for the spreadsheet.

Anyone else interested in the sheet, drop me a message with your email address and I'll send it to you as well.

Sorry, last few days were busy. Here is the spreadsheet I mentioned. It's a touch bulky because I focused on functionality.

For Outdoor shooting, skip this step. If you're going to use it for indoor shooting, go to the last page labeled "Formulas". Look in the upper left, and input the order you shoot your record bulls from 1 to 20. After that, don't touch anything in this page.

On the Smallbore Raw Scores page, it's designed for 10 shot strings, but for outdoor you could put bulls, targets, or 40 shot strings if you wish.

For outdoor shooting, the practice pages will work the best. They're designed for 20 shot strings. First, put in the shots in order for their value. Then scroll down and put them in for direction in the same order.

For 60 shot prone, you can use the air rifle 60 shot practice pages. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE PAGE!!! Same as before, shot values followed by direction.

Lemme know if anyone has any questions.

All of you know that I dont type very well and sometimes miss spell words ,but I am going to give you the best advice that I can Provide. Start with KISS [ Keep It Simple stupid] and suggest that you spend most of your time analizing only your best shots. Keep your mental preparation very positive in nature.No " I am not going to jerk the trigger "is the wrong way to go about delivering a perfect shot. You may have to start your visualation with words that describe what you intend to do in firing the shot, But as quickly as you can progress to mental pictures and the feel of a pefectly executed center shot on target. The only negative concept that I believe is of value is dont keep track of your score. Learn to shoot tens my friend . Good Shooting Bill Horton
