All

Saw this on our club range tonight and wanted to put it to the brains trust on here.

Shooter was shooting Hunter class targets at 50m with 6x scope so normally shooters use a telescope to check where the shot lands etc.
He had a electronic device which attached to his telescope to capture the image and then he was sending it to a small laptop on the bench, he had a physical connection (usb cable) but said it also works wirelessly.
Now this has its advantage in that you don't have to change your shooting position to check your spotting scope, he can just glance at his 12" screen sitting in front of him.
I discussed it further and he said the same could be done with these new high powered camera  (80x or 100x) that get around these days. That is a high powered camera could sit on your bench and send the image to a screen.

Now, I know that the rules state you can't have electronic gear\cameras down range but what about on the bench or even behind the firing line? What about having phones, tablets, notepads or laptops on the bench?

Not sure how much if any advantage it would be at a Fly shoot, maybe some at 200y depending on conditions and resolution of the gear.
He said the device on his telescope was normally used for Microscopes rather than Telescopes but the images were larger then life!

Anyway, just what I saw on the range and would like to hear your thoughts.

Cheers
