Tried them today and they worked perfectly.

The ease and speed of use significantly increased the quality of the shooting experience.

Used them mid-week on Stickledown and it actually makes a trip to Bisley more appealing.

There were about 30 of us across 5 electronic targets and one marked target, everyone seemed chuffed with the electronic targets. Makes the RCO job easier too as it means less wandering up and down calling in message 4, 7, etc. so you can focus more on shooter safety and behaviour.

Interesting.

Our club has a 900yrd shoot booked on Stickledown in a few weeks time, and also didn't realise they were extending the leccy targets to there, or beyond the end 300yrd bays on Century that have already been previously installed.

Stix electronics have been running for 6 months now. They've been working pretty well for the last 3 months. The nominally 600 targets have been available for just a couple of days, I believe, as they were being commissioned on Weds/Thurs.

Our club only books one 900yrd shoot per year, so I've not shot on Stix since July last year.

Our club used them for the first time on the 600 yd range today too..Excellent, they never missed a shot and we all got so much more shooting without waiting for a marker.

How large in inches is the V Bull when you use the electronic targets at 1k and 600 yards ?

It depends which target dimensions you select. You can choose from TR, F Class, ICFRA, and others I can't remember.

Ah ok. I just used what was on it when I arrived. I found it hard to ascertain proportions / how good or bad my shots were.
