I was a bit skeptical of how the ShotKam would work in the field while upland hunting. I didn't think the camera would wake up in time to capture my shots. The description says you may need to do something to make sure it is awake. So far I have done nothing except turn it on before entering the field. Each video starts showing the sky because that is where my barrel is pointed. Then, the view shows the bird with the red dot, and I can hear the shots in the audio, and see where my gun was pointed when I shot. So far, it hasn't made me a better shot, but I can see why I miss (most times)!
