an   accurate   reading.   If,   on   the   other   hand,   the   light   level   increases   as   the   bullet   crosses   the  

skyscreen,   you   will   probably   get   no   reading   at   all.   

 

If   you   find   that   your   MKIV   XP   is   having   trouble   getting   readings   on   a   sunny   day   with   a   dark   blue  

sky   you   should   try   shooting   lower   over   the   skyscreens.   You   may   eliminate   the   problem   by  

changing   the   light   conditions   just   a   bit   by   tilting   your   Skyscreens   or   changing   the   direction   of   the  

sun.   You   will   find   the   MKIV   XP   will   operate   in   very   low   light   conditions,   but   a   some   point   there  

will   not   be   enough   light   to   see   the   bullet.  

 

Muzzle   Blast:  

 

When   you   fire   a   supersonic   round   the   bullet   gets   to   the   skyscreen   before   the   blast   does.   Keep  

the   muzzle   a    5-10   ft.   back    from   the   first   skyscreen   to   keep   from   beating   it   up.   Remember   that  

the   farther   your   screens   are   from   the   muzzle   the   lower   the   velocity   your   chronograph   will   read  

(the   bullet   starts   slowing   down   as   soon   as   it   leaves   the   barrel).   

 

If   you   ever   have   a   problem   with   your   MKIV   XP   that   you   can't   resolve   please   don't   suffer   in  

silence!   Go   to   our   support   section   of   our   website   at

WARNING :   Shooting   is   dangerous.   It   is   up   to   you   to   conduct   yourself   in   a   safe   manner   at  

all   times   following   established   procedures   as   outlined   by   Firearms   and   Ammunition

others,   as   well   as   earning   you   a   place   in   the   Darwin   Awards.
