Will the KST1000 pick up echos from the initial gun shot?

You can use the Echo setting in the menu to help with this. This menu setting sets up a “dead time” after each detected shot so that the shot timer will not trigger on echoes from your surroundings or the sound of a steel target being hit. 0.11 seconds is a good middle-of-the-road setting, but you can change this value if you need. A word of caution – extremely short echo times may require careful adjustment of the sensitivity value to avoid picking up extraneous sounds.
