Role of paper in sius accuracy

Post by Roberto »

Wondering if the quality of paper has a role in determining the accuracy of sius ascor scoring. A local thin paper roll is available , but don't know the effect on scoring accuracy.

Pl do revert.

The black paper you see unrrolling besides the SIUS-ASCOR electronic target unit has nothing to do with the scoring, it serves as a backup target to check bullet impacts.

The scoring itself is achieved via 4 fonocaptors placed in the front corners of the unit.

The black paper is used for scoring; the sound that the pellet creates when penetrating the paper is used to determine the shotlocation. You won't get any hits without the paperroll; when the roll stucks you get strange shotlocations.

The thin paper seems to move left and right in the machine, will that have an effect?
