SCATT Calibration for sub-six pistol sight picture?

Post by cbruce13 »

All,

I'm firing up my new SCATT system (WS-03) for use with my Pardini SP. I've somewhat figured out the calibration for a center-hold sight picture, but coming up empty-headed on how to arrainge calibration for a sub-six sight picture.

I've looked around other posts and not found great/clear info on dialing-in calibration generally, and none at all with respect to a sub-six sight picture.

Any advice?

(PS, it seems that the Pardini SP is particularly difficult to calibrate generally, given the shape of the barrel/frame - I'm seemingly forced to use the interior barrel-mount because the exterior barrel bracket puts the optic sensor too off center to calibrate well.)

You just calibrate it the same way as you do on center hold, only difference is that your aim area is sub six. I mounted the barrelunit diagonally on the Pardini SP, had no problem with that.

Interesting - I may just be doing calibration wrong.

When I try to calibrate at sub-six, the optic sensor seems too low to register on the software's calibration screen (ie, to get the dot to pop up onto the calibration screen I have to raise the pistol to at least just above a straight six sight picture or a just sub-ten sight picture).

Maybe my optic sensor needs to he angled slightly upwards?

Do not use the official targets. Print a Scatt target, but cut it out so that the black circle is mounted 1-1.5" above the center of the target holder (see the red dashed line in the picture). Your sensor will then be pointed into the active area on the target.

Very interesting approach, RE, moving the target itself upwards. thanks for the alternative approach
