- Love the concept of this. Was able to install my first rifle profile with no problems. The second profile not so much. It won't let me save the zeroed yardage I use on the scope profile. It keeps changing it back to 109 yds. The library profile is correct, but even when I try to replace the profile on the scope it keeps reverting the zeroed yardage to 109 yds. Also the scope would not connect to the app at all the other day.
