Trying to use the 1600 and 800 with the cyber commander. This weekend I had lots of problems getting them to fire everytime. first the would not fire untill the second or third the triggering. The 800 would only fire on every third trigger. Each light was about 50 feet or less to either side of me. It had the same problem when using the test button on the CC. Both light were set to full power. What am I doing wrong. I have a major bull riding next month to shoot. I would really rather use my bees.

Was this your first attempt at using the Commander, or have you been able to successfully used it in the past, but this time it wouldn't work? Were you getting any flash at all, even if it was just a tickle flash? If using a previously set setup, did you change channels or frequencies since the last time you used it?

No this was not my first time. I dont think I changed anything. It would not flash the first 2-3 triggers. Then it would go for a few shots. After that I would have 1-2 minute break befor the next bull was out then the same thing.
