    We had many guns that that were not able to be tested but the most recent hardest guns were used first. We did have 3 Compacts there but not enough time to test them all so only one was used. Those that worried about the LZ1 results should not be concerned, That was one of the oldest stalker guns that I have ever seen and none are in use today with V1.x software. Its a nice find and is still a great guns to use to test systems but no chance you will see one in the wild. With the changes the manufactures make there is no need to tweak ago's for guns you will not see because tweaking for an old gun could adversely affect the great results on the current guns.

    In regard to the SX this gun was the same gun that was used in the RALETC H2H tests and this course really is challenging because of how fast the TSS pulse rates are. If you heads are not level and you are on a course such as this when you are going down and up different elevations with dips and dumps in the road you only need to loose the beam for a fraction of a second to get a PT at the speeds of this gun. If you look at Nick's results in the the front did very well but the rear was destroyed at first. After correcting the rear sensors he did run again against the gun again and it was JTG.

    It was great meeting some of the new faces, seeing the regulars, and of course was great meeting Tom and YC. We had some fun on Saturday. Sucks my car was not back on the road for the testing.

    It was also nice to meet fellow STI owner Hussein. He learned a little trick from me that'll help quite his STI down.

    Police did end up showing up on site as we got called in on. Lucky I knew them and we were good to go for the rest of the day. Found out later the reason we were called on was because there is a cdc warehouse right there that is heavily guarded. They called us in for videoing which we were not doing. The police didn't even know what was in my hands. I had to tell them it was a laser. Lol.

    Even if you were recording video, as long as you're in a public space, there's not a thing they could do about it.

    Sam makes different rules for protected areas now, all in the name of National Security. You might prevail in court, but who's got the time and money? And Sam knows this perfectly well.

    Good to see all. It was a nice day and I saw some great setups.

    On the topic of cops:
    Why did they turn their emergency lights on? Why did the one cop put on leather gloves(66 degrees) as to indicate that an escalation was possible?

    Even if the call was photography of a guarded building it is still in public view from a public side walk/easement. The White House is guarded and my goodness aren't there a lot of pictures/video of it from the sidewalk. One has to admit that having a cop respond to a call regarding a 100% legal activity is troubling. A real response call needs to be something along the lines of "it looked like a gun and they were pointing it at (insert falsehood here)". That is a 100% acceptable response call. Someone stating that it looks like a video camera is what we call fair game from the sidewalk
    Good thing you were there Slo.

    GA Testing Group/RALETC LIDAR Testing - 11/9

    Punch throughs on the bike with a quad? So the black helmet wasn't stealthy enough going away it appears. I was evaluating my rear head placement but am not going to move it now

    Shooters choice @ 30 mph, might not be so easy for leo that typically targets my plate first. If you're on a bike with clip ons you'd probably be much lower than I usually am.

    Also my rear sensors are not at the most rearward point of the bike, so the upward path being somewhat restricted may be the helmet acquisition issue on my install.
    But it is a consideration, I'm thinking about where I might put a 3rd rear head for helmet coverage. I need an even smaller remote head that I can put on the helmet

    We can only hope that G5 works.. Once its released we will test it throughly. If it works well you might be able to use an air brush and spray it on your helmets to get a nice even finish. We will have to wait and see.

    Also targetting you 30 MPH is much easier than the 80+ you are normally travelling.
