This is probably me going to far, but does moving the SCATT sensor up or down the barrel have an impact on what it detects?

I'm asking this in case it does have an impact because of angular momentum, if the closer it is to the muzzle the faster it moves and the more force that it is subjected to ends up having an impact on what's detected. I was thinking that it may have an impact like increasing the F/ballistic coefficient and make the software be more strict (punishing) with bad shots where I have some angular movement... or maybe not at all.

Why ask? To understand and act accordingly (keeping the device in the same place all the time).

I hope this makes sense :)

Holà Ramon,
I asked myself the same question, also because I saw airpistol shooters placing it to the end or middle or just at the beginning (near the trigger) of the air cilinder. While airrifle shooters almost always place it at the end of the barrel. For the moment (I received my scatt just yesterday) I place it in the middle of the air cilinder (pistol) and next time I'm on the range I'll try to see differences with live fire result. I will also try different values of ballistic ratio.
Even if on this forum I read a very interesting post on how to use different values for different purposes.
