Two minutes of setup and FIRECON locks on fast and sees every hit.
-
Print it right
- Print at 100 % / Actual size on plain white paper. Turn off Fit to page.
- Color or black and white. A home printer is fine.
- Check with a ruler: the black frame is 7.5 × 10 in (19 × 25.4 cm).
-
Hang it flat
- Tape all four corners to a firm, dark backer: black foam board, or cardboard covered in black. Every hit shows the backer through the hole, so dark makes your holes stand out.
- Keep it flat: no creases or folds, no curled corners.
- Even light across the sheet: no glare and no shadow.
-
Shoot
- Open FIRECON Lite in the MGA app and pick the target you printed.
- Set your phone level with the target, straight on, with the whole sheet in view.
- Keep it still: a small tripod, or prop it on something steady.
Safety first
Every time, at home or at a range.
- Eye protection for you and everyone nearby.
- A proper backstop behind the target that stops what you shoot, like a BB or pellet trap, and nothing behind it you would mind hitting. BBs bounce: never shoot at a hard, flat surface.
- Your phone goes beside or behind you, never downrange.
- Nobody goes downrange while anyone is loaded.
- At a range, follow the range officer and ask before you set up a phone.
- Adults only. The app is for ages 18 and up. Follow your local laws.
