The Bullseye Camera system uses a camera attached to a wireless transmitter placed downrange to display every shot that hits a target on a laptop screen back at the shooter's position. The system records and displays every shot on a target, highlighting the last shot every time, even in the dark. It looks like a great system to get instant and precise feedback on longer shots. I can see this as a valuable training tool for many shooters, especially considering the system is less expensive than many spotting scopes.
While I'm excited about this product, there are two things that may limit broad appeal. First, the specs say the rig is effective out to "500+" yards. So while it's got advantages over a spotting scope, it doesn't replace one for long range shooting. Second, the system is bulky and requires you to provide your own Windows laptop on the firing line. I already feel like a pack mule when I go to the range, so I'm not eager to haul a bunch more stuff out when I can get by with a simple spotting scope.
I'll be even more excited about the $400 system if Bullseye can increase the system's range, streamline the entire system by combining the camera and wireless router into a single, compact device; and release iOS and Android apps that allow the use of a smartphone or tablet in place of a bulky laptop on the line.
