Hi
I'm new to this forum and I see there are some very interesting topics being discussed. I started shooting air pistol (10m) about a year ago. I don't have a coach and have been looking at the electronic training systems. The Scatt MX-02 allows for live firing as well as dry firing. Is anyone familiar with this system and possibly provide some comment/advice.
Many thanks

The old version of scatt is equally fine with live fire, I use it in that mode for air pistol training. Suggest though you see if you can find a coach, that will be far more beneficial that an electronic trainer. The hard bit for a shooter is identifying areas to work on and then training effectively to improve your technique, scatt can't really help you do that, it can just give you some data to work with.

Thanks.
Yes, I tend to agree with you in that I need help with my technique. I guess electronic trainers indicate what you have done wrong but don't tell you how to correct it.

In some aspects they can identify errors, but in others they can't, they just show data. So for example you may be standing in a totally unstable position, but scatt will just indicate how good or bad your hold is.
There are many things a shooter can identify themselves if they just think about and evaluate how they shoot. Classic examples are follow through (or lack of), holding on too long on aim, and dropping the sights far too low, and inching them back up again. All of those things and many more you can self evaluate. If you notice errors or inconsistencies then train to improve them.

I'm going to leave it for the moment and concentrate on the techniques.
