Can Boom record data that can be used to detect gunfire?
This would be within 1 mile.

Good question.
I live 1.8kms (just over a mile) from the local Pistol club, with the range pointing this way.
If conditions are right, very light westerly breeze, I can hear the gunfire (usually centrefire, not .22/rimfire) but I’ve never detected it on my RS&B. Keep in mind though, competition pistols use sub-sonic ammunition so there’s no sonic boom from the projectile to detect - just the gunpowder explosion.
We do occasionally hear farmers or hunters discharging centrefire rifles which will more than likely be supersonic ammo. I must check in future if they are detected at all.
A lot depends of the level and frequency of any background noise you have at the RS&B.
Al.
