It's too easy for the score keeper's finger to drift over to the M column and not notice it. And, it's not so simple for the shooter to take a quick glance at the recorded scores to see a mark in a column that doesn't look right. Just a new Modern Problem.

Use a tablet pen...they are more accurate than fat fingering the screen.

Ditto.Use a tablet pen...they are more accurate than fat fingering the screen.
Also the shooter should look at the summary page, and not the scoring columns.

If applying Brute Force is not working, perhaps you are not using enough.

How does it work with 3 or more shots per target? I was not there but apparently there were some problems at Area 3 with the stage that required 3 scoring hits per target. The palms did not want to record more than 2 per target so they had to score 2 targets and fill in 3 on the palm.

Improper stage setup on the handhelds...you can setup the targets to score any number of hits. They might have overlooked it during the match/stage setups.

Nook too small-use an iPad
Had two problems with iPad scoring recently. 1. The glare off the screen made it very tough to see what was actually on the screen. 2. We had two iPads overheat (very hot days outside I might add) and stopped working for a time. I ended up carrying around an umbrella while scoring so that I could see the screen.

I tell u what we started using the nook at one of the clubs I shoot at. It may be a P.O.S.but you can flat see the screen in direct sun light.
Really might be the only good think about it? Lol

Never say "Don't...". Instead say, "Shoot only Alphas because..."
I'm betting the Delta count goes up this weekend for all that read this thread.
