Until I met you Phil, I thought I had the biggest pile of underused gadgets
:)

I've actually just dug out an amazing piece of kit, that I haven't used for
a while. Before I had my accident one of my hobbies was full-bore rifle
shooting. I started when at school during the summer term instead of
Cricket
(not that I don't like cricket, but I'm better at Shooting). I continued it
while in the TA.

Since the accident, rifle shooting isn't really an option, so I now have a
competition Air Pistol - don't laugh, there's a picture of it here
http://www.gehmann.de/morini_e.htm
Trying to work out what is wrong when
someone's shooting is really difficult so I came across a piece of kit
developed by members of the Russian Olympic team, The SCATT Solution -
details here http://www.scatt.com/english/default.asp.
Instead of using a
laser on the barrel, it uses four IR transmitters on the target, and a
receiver mounted on the weapon. I only wish it had been available when I
was
trying to coach the junior members when I was at School, life would have
been so much easier.

Top that one!

He who dies with the most toys wins :)

Tim.
