[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1169873, member: 8873"] Several years ago I was instructed to get as lined up behind the bore as possible and that has always seemed to work for me. The more lined up with the barrel the quicker the spotter will pick it up. Not that you won't see it laying next to the shooter, it just makes it a little more difficult to read it accurately from an angle. You may also have the zoom too high on the camera, I find that 15-20 is what works for me in most situations. I basically have the power set just high enough to be able to spot impacts on target. Also, if you have the target in focus it'll be harder to spot trace along the bullets path. Focus in on the target and the bring it back into you until the target is starting to blur, but not so much that when you do get an impact you can still tell its exact location. Most will say this focus is 2/3 to 3/4 of the distance to the target. [/QUOTE]
