It appears that another great marker has been surpassed. The Orion electronic scoring system, with its superior technology and advanced algorithms, has added another notable event to it's ever growing list of accomplishments. This system has been used to score such historic events of unparallelled accuracy as the BB gun nationals......but most recently, Emperor Kinjo of Japan employed this great system to score a personal event at his residence. This has given rise to Orions latest moniker ......"The Emperors New Scoring System".
It has been made aware at this milestone event that Orion has added an additional element to it's already unflappable list of features. This new technological advance comes on the heels of questions that have arisen concerning its ability to accurately locate the center of a hole. This latest version has the ability to root out those that are unfit to question the systems proficiency. Such unfit persons will be immediately known, because they will be unable to agree with the score produced by the Orion system.
Our club recently had a chance to evaluate the new version. It was a terrible day outside, so we elected to shoot inside the house. We only had about 8 yards available to us, but we made the best of it. We each used our best 25m bench rifles and shot a card. All of the shots appeared to go right into the center of the area that Orion provided for lining up the crosshairs. We were quite anxious to see what really had happened, so we ran the cards through the scanner and looked on with awe. I shot a 235 3x....Ben shot a 241 14x, and Ross manged a perfect 250 25x. At first, I began to question the validity of the results, but then I remembered the new feature in the software. We all concluded that the results must be, indeed, accurate. As further validation of the new Orion feature, Ben's 3 year old son made the comment that he thought all the targets looked exactly the same.
