I can answer that. Yes you see the number 1st shot 2nd shot etc going down the left. The centre line is fps, 3rd line is where it hit on the target.
The speed can be hit and miss, depends how well the sensors are calibrated. Often one target will read different to the other. If you know your muzzle speed you will know if it's pretty close looking at your drop chart. I've seen some readings I think are what they should be, others are way out. If you don't know your muzzle velocity you could ask another shooter if he or she thinks it's about right with there rifle. It's ok for looking at deviation.
