4.6.2 Setting the Aim Point

ShotStat uses the Aim Point as the theoretical 'zero' (or origin) for the target image. The aim point should be set to that point on the target at which the shooter was aiming. After calibration, the ``Aim Point'' tool button is automatically selected and ShotStat is in Aim Point mode. To set the Aim Point:

  1. Place the cursor at the aim point and Left Click. The aim point is indicated on the image as a small colored hollow cross. After the aim point is set, ShotStat automatically goes into Enter Shot mode.
  2. If you make an error setting the aim point, simply select the ``Aim Point'' tool button and re-enter the aim point.
Note:
In ShotStat Version 2, you should only enter one aim point per shot group. You can enter a different aim point for each shot, but you will not have any way to know the aim points for individual shots, and this may be prone to errors in the statistical calculations. We highly recommend that you enter only one aim point per shot group.
