I'm sitting here thinking about my favorite hobby, firearms and target shooting. I feel like it's something that's often misunderstood. People hear the word 'guns' and they instantly think negative thoughts. But for me, it's a passion. I love the focus, the skill, and the community that comes with it. I've been shooting for years, and it's something that helps me relax and unwind. I'm not sure what it is about being out on the range, shooting targets, that just clears my head. Maybe it's the mix of concentration and repetition. Whatever it is, it works. And I feel like that's something that's worth talking about. There's more to firearms and target shooting than what you see in the media. It's not all about violence and aggression. For a lot of us, it's about sport, camaraderie, and self-improvement. I just wish more people could see that side of it. I'd love to hear from others who share my passion, or maybe even those who are just curious about it. What do you think?

The collar boots to the debug menu and throws "E302S3" before any metrics begin to capture.

Things I've tried so far:

• Reset via the reset button for 30s, then powered off.
• Fully charged a 72V 1500mAh supply (inlay charging cap now > 10.3V).
• Firmware updated to latest version 3.15.
• Synthetically warmed the unit to room temp 21C (using external 22°C heat pad), error still present.

Likely suspect: overheating of internal SOC under GPS/Power spike, flagged by error code "E302S3" (SOC thermal cut‑out). The device has a thermal profile for 6 minutes before stalling. I started at high latitude / sunrise angle – battery gauge near 51%. I use a “GCP-3500” battery with heat shimming, so I've disabled the shimming, but that hasn’t helped. I'm unsure whether the internal CO₂ sensor's firmware also triggers the cutout.

Would appreciate someone who built or patched that SOC model to know if there’s a known patch or voltage cutoff? Additionally, any nuance around "thermal compensation code" values in the spec would help narrow down if it’s firmware or hardware.

P.S. This came after running an uphill test in Pine Ridge Park, and the device tries to gauge trotted steps from a 45% gradient – might that be triggering a hidden loop? Thoughts? 🙂

I pulled an empty cardboard pack from the kitchen drawer and dug up the retail receipts the last time the shop ran a deep clean of their display area.

A quick scan of the micro‑print at the bottom of the sealed bag showed:

• Royal Canin Purine‑Low: Product #RCG‑800‑ST, Batch 220412
• 02–09/26, 90% of units shipped between December 10 and January 3 this year.
• Ingredients listed in packaging: 18 % crushed salmon, 1 % fish bones, 12 % other fish meal.

The receipts also capture an electronic code that identifies exactly which warehouse stored the 27th of the batch. When I compared that code (ALPHA‑WD‑78C) to the local distributor inventory files, I saw it flagged under "Fish Protein & Mineral Additions" – exactly the area they claim to have removed due to Purine restrictions.

Long‑running customers often put it forward as the one Purine‑safe product in the U‑shaped 450‑gm packs. The receipts list an ingredient note

"All protein from processed animal food (see FAQ). Note – The product may still contain bone fragments. Lab tests show up to 5 g/L for some older batches (see docs)."

Hence, this was not a subtle slip: an obvious note telling every shopper that " bone fragments may be present," in a section with the main Purine‑Warning color. What’s worse, the packaging underlines the 9‑th subheading twice to pass off the phrase "Purine Low".

• 📁 Attachment: Screenshot of receipt back, product label scan, and micro‑print 1900–2600 character box.

Bottom line—You’ll read this at home to decide whether it’s actually safe. If it truly qualifies as Purine‑Low in FDA terms, you might look at those figures before splurging.

Any members still taking this to all dogs with kidney conditions, is anyone still turning a blind eye while reading that bold line? If someone sees anything not in the paper, post those facts, but stick to receipts—don't blur.

Anyone had real‑world numbers lately?

(P.S. That bit about fish bone chips…you’ll recognise it in a good supermarket’s shelf audit.)
