What it does . . .

• Shotgun-Insight was conceived to give shotgun users a tool to analyse shell performance in their particular gun for their particular discipline - just as rifle & pistol shooters match their guns and shells.

• Relieves (most of) the tedium of having to count pellet holes by hand by automatically counting the pellets from a pattern-plate target.

• Moves beyond simply counting pellets within the 30" circle or arbitrary segments

• Highlights gaps in the pattern.

• Rates shells with a percentage likelihood of hitting the target.

• Allows analysis of multiple patterns giving an estimate of average performance AND consistency thus allowing comparisons of different makes/types of shell.

Graphical analysis of individual shots to check for 'blown' patterns where a target can pass through the centre of a pattern . . .

Average data to reveal the underlying trends . . .

Simulate different target distances to see how pattern density varies . . .

(NB. Due to the non-linear rate at which patterns expand with distance, this feature should only be used for small adjustments about the measurement distance.)
