Printing and using course of fire specific barcode labels

Course of fire specific barcode labels are small "return address" size labels that are printed from within Orion. These labels contain information about a specific athlete, the position, and series. By affixing the label to an Orion target, Orion will automatically assign the target to the correct athlete when the target is scanned and loaded. Barcode labels may be used for both targets and scorecards.

Course of fire specific barcode labels are primarily intended for competitions, and may be used with any rulebook or target. Orion will print one label for each target the athlete will fire within the competition. For example, in a 3x20, Orion will print 6 labels for each competition, one each for prone-one, prone-two, standing-one, standing-two, kneeling-one, and kneeling-two.

The correct size labels may be ordered here.
