IMO, this is the only way to learn to shoot long range. When you can get instant read on your hit, you can really learn to read the wind and make adjustments.
You will be able to have F-Class matches and draw a bunch of $$, not that your having a hard time getting shooters now. </div></div>
Goose, if you ever decide to do that, I'll pitch in weekend time to help with this. ( I don't charge for time for such a noble cause ) LOL Just need materials, a berm in front and a welder.
I like the idea of the, "steel garden", where you shoot from one firing line at targets of any range.... just change your dope and shoot the 400yd shot then, dial up and shoot the 800yd shot then, change again and shoot the 1100yd shot or 1500yd shot... you don't even get up... just change elevation or hold and fire. That's awesome.
If you ever decide to put in pits, I'll help you and, I'm sure others will too. There are times when knowing exactly where you hit is just awesome. I guess the biggest question would be at what yardline would you put the pits... ( 1000yds, I'd imagine ) It would be quite an investment in time to do this.... probably more of a thing for the future.
What you have now is really nice. The best thing I liked is that you pick a target, dial your dope and ring steel at any range you like.
