Can you pick up problems with sighting using a Scatt I am going through a very down period (I hope!) and am suffering poor groups. I realise there are many other errors possible but want to check constant centering first.

You can learn all sorts of things from the SCATT traces. I dose though require some skill to interpret them correctly. It really helps to work with a coach who knows what they are doing, they can watch you train, and help you interpret the results from the trace. At least with the SCATT if you do not have a local coach it may be possible to find one who is willing to help oout by looking at the traces for you.

you could always post a file here and have it looked at.

Thanks for the replies and offers, can I assume that you can isolate sighting problems?

I have only limited knowledge of Scatt although have used once and have watched it operating.

I believe that assessing your aiming ability is one of the ways to use SCATT. I do it by setting the F coefficient to zero - then you get the shot fall where you point it.
Amongst the other ways I use it are:
1) for assessing the size of my hold
2) to see if my trigger release is clean
3) to practice shading or "clicking off"

One thing that doesn't work is trying to assess your recoil with live firing as the heat of the muzzle blast seems to confuse the sensor (which uses infra red) which falsely displays your initial recoil in the direction of the sensor.
