How do you make a correction if you aren’t on plate?
In the case of the RnD test above I verified at 500 and 600 and was impacting well and decided to head to 1000 because of conditions and availability of day light left. I was humbled to have impacts on first attempt.
In other cases
Having extra spotters to watch for impacts or pucks, dust or whatever to help in corrections.
Down range camera systems like Long Shot to help seeing target and close misses.
When they fail and you can’t see the miss, in which the little 22LR hitting weeds and grass can be a challenge
Then it is was it is
I seen a bunch of shooters this last weekend shooting (centerfires) that their teammates were responding after the shot - no call, nothing , dang I have nothing? This happens a lot and they were shooting at 56 different targets sets that ran from 274 yards to 1303 yards.
Heck if I enter in my 416 Warner and try to get a perspective of the challenge, 99.1 mils puts me a zone of 4814 yards for the challenge I know my shooting partner said his 375 was in the 4000s as well.
And how many times at Raton NM, Kansas, Virginia and South Dakota did I hear - No call, sorry I have nothing
So most shooters when that call happens, start to fish or move around the target most of the time they check left and right to see if the wind was more or less then figured. Next if they trust their gun and program usually they dig deep or down to either catch splash or see if they were shooting prior just over the top of the target.
So anyways - there were many ways a person could take your question and I hope this made sense
Taylorbok, I thought you shot some distance with centerfires
Remember this was just a RnD project and gathering data for the program nothing more , but it was good fun as well!
