REVIEW 

 

The   MKIV   jumps   to   shot   number   7   and   displays   “ #07    1.65    4.54” .   You   see   that   your   reload   took  

1.65   seconds   (the   time   between   shot   6   and   7).   This   time   is   a   little   long   and   you   seriously  

consider   switching   from   your   Six   Gun   to   an   auto-loader.   

 

Printing   from   Review:   

 

If   you   have   one   of   the   HP   IR   printers   you   can   print   the   string   at   any   time   after   you   are   done   firing,

  button.   This   will   clear   your   previous   string   and   begin   a  

new   one.   

 

Continue   a   String:  

 

If   you   would   like   the   timer   to   add   the   time   of   your   second   and   subsequent   strings   together   (as  

you   might   on   an   IPSC   standards   drill)   press   the    

CST   GO  

  button.   This   will    NOT    clear   the   memory  

the   way   the
