So another thing that SCATT can give you isthe confidence to speed up your shot release, making each shot quicker, leading to less fatigueand less wind changes – so to some extent a SCATT can help with the wind. If you can convinceyour friends to take it up as well, it might even help with slow partners!4) Explanation for unexplained shotsThe SCATT machine doesn’t just place the shot at the point of aim when the trigger is released.It calculates the fall of shot based on the point of release and the speed at which the barrel ismoving (wobbling) at that instant.This was a real eye-opener for me. In our SCATT session afellow team member was holding the rifle within the “V”, but his shot appeared low right in theInner.A steward’s enquiry was called and we watched the replay of his shot on the SCATT. Onclose inspection the point of aim could be seen to be moving at its fastest with the shooterspulse. So, although the rifle had never left the “V”, he had fired just when the muzzle was movingat its quickest with the beat of the pulse resulting in a low right shot. Uncannily, this was exactlywhat had been experienced out on the ranges.The firer was oblivious to this pulse before theSCATT session as it was not pronounced enough to be visible to the firer through the sights.Being able to see the cause gave him the opportunity to work on a solution. He adjusted hisposition so that the amount of pulse was reduced and hey-presto the problem was significantlyreduced.Without a SCATT the low-right shots might have remained a frustrating mystery, orbeen put down to trigger snatch.With a SCATT, different positions can be tried to reduce thelevel of movement with the pulse and instant feedback gained on whether the change has madean improvement.Here is an example – the blue line shows the movement leading up to the shot release, and thered line the follow through.The shot is the white spot at 6:00, which has hit low due to the pulsemovement (from blue to red) at the time the shot is released.The pulse effect.5) ExperimentationThere are many factors that affect the general steadiness of the rifle.The SCATT can help youtest these in order to work out what gives the steadiest position and smallest pulse.You cantry things out such as different clothing, sling position, handstop position, full or empty stomachetc. etc. and get feedback a lot more quickly than you could on the ranges.
