V4.4 / Top Score / Firing Range Setup

TOP SCORE PRACTICE - FIRING RANGE SETUP

Practice with LaserHIT 25M or B27 paper targets to enhance the five fundamental aspects of shooting: aiming, breath control, trigger control, and follow-through. Top Score offers an optimal solution to refine your marksmanship accuracy and grouping, featuring customizable time frames of up to 5 minutes and a maximum of 100 shots per session. Utilize augmented reality to reload and reset your practice session directly from the firing line using the LaserHIT reload mark. You can also save cumulative screenshots to track your progress and monitor improvements over time.

GLOSSARY

  • Firing Distance: The actual distance from the target to the firearm's front iron sight or front lens (red dot, scope).

  • Target Scale: The ratio between the size of the actual target and its representation used for practice. Automatically calculated by the LaserHIT app.

  • Simulated Distance: The calculated distance is derived by multiplying the Firing Distance by the Target Scale factor. This is automatically determined by the LaserHIT app based on your input for Firing Distance and confirmed target scale.

  • Instrumental Precision: The smallest increment the App can reliably detect and measure.

  • Hit Group: The maximum distance, under simulated conditions, between any two hits on the target (center-to-center) that occurs during practice.

  • Units:

    • MOA: Shooter's Minute of Angle (simplified TMOA). 1 SMOA = 1 inch at 100 yards.

    • MIL/NATO-MIL (Simplified MRAD): 1 MIL = 1 meter at 1 kilometer. 0.1 MIL = 10 cm at 100 meters.

Specification:

  • Distance Units Support: Feet, Yards, Meters

  • Simulated Distance Range: 3-164 feet, 1-54.8 yards, 0.9-50 meters

  • Firing Distance Range: 3-41 feet, 1-13.7 yards, 0.9-12.5 meters

  • Target Scale Support: 1:1 to 1:4

  • Measurements and Calculation: Simulated distance, Instrumental Precision, Hits Group

  • Units of Measurement: Inch, Centimeter, MOA, MIL, 

  • Instrumental Precision, Linear: Up to 0.02 inch, 0.05 cm

  • Instrumental Precision, Angular: Up to 0.1 MOA, 0.03 MIL

SET UP FIRING RANGE

Firing Distance: Select the units (Feet, Yards, or Meters) and enter the actual distance value for your firing line. It is crucial to accurately enter this distance as it directly affects the calculated simulated distance and your practice results.

  • Iron Sights: Enter the distance from the front sight.

  • Red-dot or Scope: Enter the distance from the front lens. Tap the field to open the phone's keyboard for input. Tap "Done" to confirm and return to the Firing Range setup screen.

MORE SETTINGS

UNITS: Choose from a selection of linear and angular measurement units. Selecting a unit of measurement activates the Hit Group option, with instrumental precision calculated in real-time. Available options include:

  • Inches

  • Centimeters

  • MOA

  • MIL

These units allow for precise adjustment and measurement based on your shooting preferences and requirements.

Group: Select "Show" to display your Hit Group number on the phone screen in real-time during the active session. This number is calculated at the simulated distance and shown in the selected units.

Common Settings:

  • Hit Size: Adjust the slider to resize or enlarge the graphical representation of hit marks on your targets displayed on the phone screen.

  • Hits (max 100): Customize the number of hits allowed per practice session.

  • Timeout (max 300 sec.): Set the time limit for completing each practice session.

  • Restart Delay (max. 10 sec.): Specify the delay before starting each practice session.

  • Score (max. 999): The customized maximum score in a practice session.

  • Express Setup (Skip Hints): Quickly start LaserHIT practice sessions without visual and audible hints. Simplifies setup into two steps: confirming the Reload Mark and checking lights, then confirming the specified 25M or B27 target.

Sensitivity Settings

These settings are designed and implemented to support various Android devices running outdated operating systems, or categorized as "budget" phones. They can be particularly useful when using OTHER laser cartridges or devices for training to balance technical characteristics. They may also be beneficial under limited environmental setup conditions such as low light sources, uneven floors, or surroundings with many windows or glass doors. In general, we recommend keeping these settings at Medium and avoid changing them. If you have any uncertainties, please submit a Technical Support request to the LaserHIT Customer Support team at: https://www.laserhit.com/support.

  • Laser Hits (Low, Medium, High):

    • Low settings may result in missed hits, while High settings may register "phantom" hits.

    • Recommended to set to Low for lasers exceeding 5mW and High for laser Class 1-2.

  • Ambient Light Change (Low, Medium, High):

    • Low settings may register "phantom" hits, while High settings may trigger a "Stand by" action, pausing the session.

  • Phone or Target Movement (Low, Medium, High):

    • Low settings may register "phantom" or misplace hits due to phone or target movement.

    • High settings may trigger a "Stand by" action or result in longer waiting times between steps.

  • Moving Shadow on Target (Low, Medium, High):

    • Low settings may register "phantom" hits, while High settings may cause a "Stand by" action, pausing the session.

Global Settings

These settings are designed to support a variety of Android device hardware configurations and their compatibility with software applications.

  • Loud Sound Test: The loud sound produced by the phone's speaker may interrupt practice sessions. An initial sound test adjusts the device's volume for accurate hit detection. If the phone volume is later increased above the tested "safe" sound level, the app will prompt to perform the sound test again.

  • Laser Color (Red, Green, Blue, Auto): We recommend keeping the default value: Auto. The app automatically detects and notifies you if adjusting the laser color is necessary for better performance and accuracy with your OTHER laser cartridges/devices.
