Hunting and Shooting
How do I play multiplayer?
First, both users need to own a GAIM Simulator and the scenario you intend to play multiplayer with. Multiplayer is then done in three easy steps: 1. Host a game in the multiplayer section. You will receive a four letter code. e.g. TNKL 2. Call or text your hunting buddy and ask them to join your session using the code. The scenario will become available when your friend joins the session. End your phone call. 3. You can now talk via the headset. Have fun hunting together!
How is the score calculated in GAIM?
General rule is that a killing shot generates 1000p. Any injuring shot deducts 100p. Breaking any safety rule deducts 250p. All points are multiplied by your accuracy which in turn is calculated by dividing killing shots with total shots. The points should encourage hunting like decisions of not taking too difficult shots.
What are the ballistics used in GAIM?
We have used the data of a standard 308w cartridge in our rifle calculations. Weight 11,7 grams. Speed 800 m/s. The calculations for shotgun is based on US6 with 411 m/s exit speed and a 1/4 choke. For the handgun we have used the ballistics for a 9mm bullet weighing 8 grams ( 124 grain) with an exit speed of 360 m/s or 1180 ft/sec.

How do I connect the Trigger Gen 2?
1. Put the battery in the trigger unit. 2. The LED button will blink several colors. Press the LED light button for 3 seconds until it blinks red for 1 second followed by a yellow blinking light.

In the headset go to Settings // Devices // Bluetooth pairing. If the GAIM Controller is visible but listed as Previously Paired, you need to forget this device.
