​
Parameters

​
Intensity
required
Indicates the intensity level during which the shooting was performed. Always comes first in the entry and applies to all following lines until a new intensity is defined.Accepted values:
  • i0 or z0 for static shooting
  • intensity name (usually i1-i5)
  • competition or race for race shooting
​
Position
required
Defines the shooting position. Must follow the intensity and applies to all following entries until a new position is specified.Accepted values:
  • P for prone
  • S for standing
​
Missed shots
required
Represents the number of missed shots in a stage. You can enter multiple numbers in sequence (e.g. 0321) to log several stages at once using batch entry.Accepted values:
  • integer 0-5
  • X+Y for relay shooting, where X is the number of missed shots and Y is the number of spare rounds used
Examples: 3, 0+2
​
First shot time & Stage time
Optional timing data for each shooting stage. Represents the time of the first shot and the total time spent on the stage.Accepted values:
  • times in seconds, separated by / (first shot time / stage time)
  • - for a missing or unknown value
Examples:
  • 14/29 – first shot at 14s, total stage time 29s
  • -/25 – first shot time unknown, stage time 25s
  • 13/- – first shot at 13s, stage time unknown
​
Miss positions and order
Optional field that describes where missed shots went, using clock notation. You can also log the full shot sequence by entering all five shots and using x to mark hits.Accepted values:
  • clock numbers 1-12 to indicate miss positions
  • ', `, or , as separators between values
  • x to indicate a hit when logging all five shots in order
Examples:
  • 3' 11' 12' – three misses at 3, 11 a 12 o’clock
  • 2 10 – two misses at 2 and 10 o’clock
  • 4x5xx – miss at 4, hit, miss at 5, hit, hit (first and third shot missed)

Pro Tips

  • Be concise – Use batch mode when you don’t need detailed info (like times or miss positions).
  • Double–check your entries – Go to Analytics / Shooting Analysis and check the table at the bottom to make sure your entries were parsed correctly.
