Hello again, gentlemen

I have been contacted by my club president who is putting together a grant application for ETs for our range. Can anyone give some tips on what are good tablets to use? Specifically ones that are friendly with old(er) eyes? There is already a bit of negative sentiment about the prospect of changing over from manual targets, so I don't want to end up with tablets that are hard to see in sunlight, have poor contrast or are too small.

Put another way - what tablets do you use on your ETs, and do you recommend them?

Cheerio

I use an old MacBook Air
Others at the club use Samsung’s or iPads - owned personally.
The “club” bought a cheap one for every one to use but it’s hard to read and has poor battery life.

The Tablets that Hexta use can be sourced 2nd hand on the net.

Like Danny has posted he gog somdd for Portland and we use them on Silver Mountain

I'm thinking panadol may help

Hi Geoff, I was able to source 10 or so on eBay. Had a mate re programme them for me. Bruce Sergeant got some off me, as did some club mates and Bill Bouyack bought the last lot from my seller. With postage, I ended up paying about $30 each. They were also a slightly later model than our Hexta ones as they have touch screens.
