One challenge that came to mind after deep thinking about blind marksmanship and long distance shooting was the ability to focus on targets with the BMCS Blind Marksman Camera System. The system includes 3 key components, a smart phone rifle scope adapter, a smart phone (iPhone 7) and an external monitor in this case. My worry was the inability to have complete focus on both the target and scope reticle. The primary goal is to provide my spotter the ability to utilize the sub tensions within the rifle scope. The inability to decipher how many mils there are between established reference points within the scope, will severely limit the shooter & spotters ability to hold off for wind and range with the reticule.
During the shooting process, the spotter must accurately measure mirage angles and target dimensions. If the spotter cannot see the hash marks or dots within the rifle scope, accuracy will be severely affected and long distance shots may not be possible.
We will of course continue to research this challenge and problem thoroughly. One solution I have proposed is the use of a specialized camera application installed on the smart phone. In this case the application is named Pro Cam 5 and provides the spotter more ability to adjust camera focus. After more thorough testing and research we will post our findings, so stay tuned.
