HI,
Anyone on here own a target camera system and can comment on the quality and performance.
I've been researching the Caldwell long range target system and the Bullseye Ammo-Cam sight-in system.
Bullseye have two versions, the long range and sight-in edition, however there is over a $300 difference between the two.
Price wise the Caldwell system is the same price as the Bullseye sight-in edition.
I like the Bullseye system, it's an all-in-one unit with easy storage, carry and set up. It's small and can be placed low on the ground and I can place some AR500 steel behind it, so it should be safe.
They have software that takes a snap shot and swaps the previous picture with the one just taken like a flip-book, so it highlights your last shot, simple but clever.
The downside it is only work upto a 300 yard range. For $30 they offer repair & replacement insurance in case it is hit by a stray bullet.
The Caldwell at the same price consists of two tripods and the range is over a mile. More to set up but far longer range, the camera has pan,tilt and zoom so you can set it off to the side and hopefully limit stray impact. Have not seen either in person but Caldwell has a reputation of cheapness about their products.
The Caldwell software offers group calculation but not last shot. Both system offer live feed video and record.
The two videos below demonstrate both system, the Bullseye video is the long range edition. The sight-in edition does not come with the base station and has different parts in the main unit.
Couple of things worth mentioning.
I'm just getting in to rifle shooting, looking at picking up a 6.5 creedmore Ruger precision rifle. The range I use has a 200 yard range, plenty enough to start with but would like to learn to shoot out further.
There are plenty of web sites out there on building your own but I would rather pick up a ready built unit. I'm not a fan of spotting scopes, IMHO they have narrow field of view and to get the quality I want I would be in the 1k range.
Thoughts and comments on the two.
Thanks
Harry
