Indoor use depends on the lighting. You can't use it under fluorescent lights, but you can under LED or incandescent lights. For indoor use you might need to get the illuminated sky screens (or buy some LED strips for $20 and make them yourself).

must maintain proper distance which is most important. i read of people using tis indoors and having better luck with it than other brands.

It's not a finicky unit at all and works well in all conditions...indoors, cloudy and sunshine days. You will like it a lot.

Did anyone ever answer your question? I too have this same gun and thinking of making the purchase of this trainer. If you would, let me know. Thanks.

I'd worry about hearing damage, I'm always turning the metronome down myself for this reason. The "tick" is pretty sharp sounding. I'd recommend a clock with a soft ticking sound.I have the Seiko metronome which has a volume wheel on the side, not all of them do.

I used mine at an indoor range at 25 yds. Don't see why it wouldn't handle colder weather. Think my fingers would freeze before this thing. You might have problems seeing the red dot on a sunny day the farther you go out. It's a cheap enough product to give it a try.

I have used the product, indoors only, with different laser lights and all have worked fine. I think the key is not to have excessive ambient light on the plinking cans. I use them a lot for training and have had no significant issues

It is not approved for indoor use, I don't think any are. I have never had any issues using it indoors, and it works quite well as well. I believe I remember the same statement "not approved for indoor use" on the ones I used for table side service when I was in fine dining. (great for flaming deserts) I think it would likely need a complicated oxygen sensor with cut off to be approved for indoor use, seems like that would be more effort than it was worth as this should never be used unattended.

Hi, did you wind up buying this? If so, did it fit well on your scope? Is it better than the awful red-dot finder that the 114eq comes with? How much so if it is? Is it worth getting? Or is one of either the telrad or reigel reflex sights a better choice for the 114eq?

They work well in my .357 for indoor practice. I made a catch for them and can actually re-use them a lot. They are highly inaccurate in my rifle. I would only use for shooting at the 25' range.

Got it for Christmas, and it's been hardcore winter since then, so we haven't used it much yet. Looking forward to spring. I can tell you, though that it doesn't work well for very long at all in very cold temperatures. That's no surprise; the information that comes with it tells you that. Also, it's a pistol and doesn't have the velocity of the rifle, so it won't have the accuracy or range of the rifle either. Compared to a rifle, you would need to be pretty close range to do any real damage to anything. Even then, we shopped and compared pretty hard before buying this, and like it very much. It was a good choice for us. Hope this helps. Got it for Christmas, and it's been hardcore winter since then, so we haven't used it much yet. Looking forward to spring.

I've heard that motionbased.com adjusts the elevation readings now to reflect more accurate elevations. I don't own one yet, but am looking to buying one and have heard this from a few friends who own the 305. This, from what I understand, is the 305's biggest weakness! However, I still want one above any other of its kind...

I have both .177 and 22 cal love them. However depending on how you plan on using your rifle I suggest 1st. get rid of the crappy scope. I installed a UTG 3X9x40 with illuminated GBR mill dot reticle around $70.00 (Optical Planet). Second replace the trigger with a GTX adjustable $30.00 (Air Guns of Arizona) you will be amazed with the difference. If you have to make a choice go with the trigger. I am thinking about adding a sling as these rifles are heavy which is good.Please let me know how things work out.Semper FiMolon Labe CHS USMCL

I have had the unit for 2 months and it stopped working. I have not trouble shot it yet. This unit came with the mag sensors but I did not need them because my rig already had them. This unit is the unit which is designed to use mag/door sensor etc. This is the top model.

I think this unit would work out well. It is actualy a really good unit. I just wish the battery was not fixed inside the unit. Once it goes - the unit will need to be replaced - but the low light, the audio, and the quality are all top notch! For the price -you can't go wrong! Hope that helps you out.

Yes, it can be used indoors. I'm sure they could be uncomfortable if hit at a close distance, but my son has never shot me with one, lol... but he does shoot it indoors.

I've had the unit for several months, and it's worked flawlessly for me from the start. Just make sure you have fresh batteries in it for accurate readings. I'm very happy with mine; if you're having issues, ask for a replacement if you need to use this instrument for it's intended purpose.

This pistol should not be used indoors, it very likely would ricochet into a window or your eyes, it is meant to be used outside. Are you old enough to use this pistol with out adult supervision? from the looks of your spelling I wonder, or is this message a joke on your part

I'd be impressed if it were reliable inside first. The timer on mine stopped working the day after my return window expired. Just a heads up.
