After you clicked on "Start" button, SCATT calibration window will open. In this
window (fig. 6) you need to calibrate the optical sensor (to match the axis of the
optical sensor and sights) and make necessary adjustments.

Distance to electronic target
Optical sensor automatically measures the distance to the electronic target. The
program allows you to automatically calibrate the sensor relative to the sighting of
weapons, so there is no need to adjust the sights of weapons. Sensor automatically

We don’t recommend use of electronic corrections in case the shot-holes are

Not only can you see the results of your shot after it has been taken but you also
have the opportunity to see what is happening while you are actually aiming at the
target. The Scatt system was developed to assist shooters from all over the world to
enable them to reach their highest goals.

It helps to develop a shooter's ability to achieve very high scores in shooting

competitions, which in sport shooting is the primary objective. A series of easy to
understand graphs enable you to assess exactly what happened, what your problems
are and the best course of action to take.

Some program features are not available in the "sighting" mode. To activate all
features, switch program to “Match” mode.
