As a 'Bullseye' shooter, (Standard pistol NRA Master), I could never advise one of these for rifle shooting outdoors. JUST shoot, and feel the recoil! experience the wind. Experience spin drift. Experience the terrain, elevation, atmospheric conditions, angle of shot... Trajectory...

 I do dry fire practice with pistol indoors to develop trigger memory/feel.  I still couldn't advise something like this. Although... Much of international pistol competition has or is going electronic. Good GOD!

I've thought about it a bunch. It would sure save a lot of walking back & forth.

??  What am I missing ??  I am just talking about the camera system to watch your target downrange.  Unless it does more that I am unaware of.   :dunno:

My thoughts exactly....especially for ranges beyond 300 yards where even finding holes through the spotter can be difficult.

I wonder if JackOfAllTrades is thinking of something like the LaserLyte pistol training targets.  The Bullseye is just a remote camera to see where your shots are hitting.  My son has an older version, this new one in the ammo can looks like a nice update.  From what I've seen (with the older version) they do work well, good picture quality, certainly saves time going down range to see what the group looks like, etc.  My son liked it for load development, comparing different loads.  He certainly doesn't use it as much now as he did at first, but that's normal with a lot of stuff.  Consider where you shoot the most; private or public range and how that affects how you can use it.  It seems like a good quality system and it comes down to if you'll use it enough for the cost.
Disappointments are inevitable, misery is optional.

could also use a phoneskope with a smart phone or tablet in record mode and watch your shot after. Lots cheaper if you own a spotter and smartphone already

OK, I thought it was something else... Should have read more.  Spotting scope. White paint on a metal gong.  Money is better spent on optics that have multiple purposes and ammunition.
