LCD Topgun distance requirements kind of crazy...

Hello all,

Got my LCD Topgun in yesterday & installed it on my MAME cab along with Guncom (Excellent program BTW).

At first I had major calibration/tracking probs (Stuttering laser beam, gun going on & off, etc...) and I thought It couldn't possibly be that I was too close, I was a full 8' away! Keep in mind that I had the LED strips on the side of a 19" TV so they aren't that far apart.

So, finally out of frustration, I took another large step back to near 10+ feet total distance, and suddenly the gun works like a charm.

I'm happy it works, but 10' away from a 19" screen just to get good tracking/detection??? Just seems a bit extreme.

Anyone have any tips that help detection at closer distances? It's not unbearable.... but 10' is somewhat pushing the fun factor.

Thanks gents!

Mounting the strips horizontally should help some.

LOL, the guns should come with binoculars.

I have read a lot on these things, but I haven't ever heard of someone having to stand that far back.

The guns sound pretty good with the exception of the distance, thats the only thing holding me back from getting one or two.
