spotting scope or target cam opinions

[Failure2Stop]

Was that with the Bullsye or Target Vision system? Target Vision is twice the price of the Bullseye. Does that equal twice the performance? You can get a really nice spotting scope for $1300.

Both.
The issues related to signal reception in realistic conditions.
Second-hand info, take it for what it's worth.

That's good enough me. Maybe they can get those issues sorted out some day, because it could be a very useful technology. Until then, the use of steel is still the best option for distance work.

Ok thanks like I said I dont have any experience past 100 realistically how far can you see 223 holes in paper with a scope in the 82sv price range I might be leaning towards getting both the spotting scope for shorter distances and or times where I can't set up the cam and the cam for not perfect lighting and longer range

In my experience about 300 yards. The qualifiers being mirage, angle of sun, light colored backer, etc.

A simple PTZ camera, a wireless N router operating in the 5gHz band, battery pack, good antennas and good clear Lline of sight and you should be able to easily get video at that range. You could put something like that together for far less than either of those video systems you mentioned.

We used a very similar system for an unmanned aircraft project back in college, and we got video out to nearly twice that range. That was on a maneuvering vehicle utilizing the 2.4gHz band that's much more crowded and vulnerable to interference.
