I love watching the trails. The arc reminds me of watching squirtguns in the heat of the summer when I was a kid.

Is it just me that sees shooting at something while there is moving traffic on a road in the background not the best idea?

I'll assure you that the road is 8 miles beyond the target.

Here's one I use in my PR classes as a way to get people started looking for trace.

Yep.some poor fucker driving past getting shot in the head is not a nice possibility....
One word,,,, BACKSTOP !
A .22lr can go for over 1/2 mile on its own....
Dude,, good video but you really got to be more careful. that was not good. Thats what the anti's always get their own AMMUNITION against shooters on !

If that road is 8 miles then those cars are the size of freight ships.

Re: Bullet Trace
It's a nice camera setup, and that particular rifle has turned in a < 8" group at 1500 meters. That group in the vid was under 4".

Re: Bullet Trace
Is it just me, or are others missing this too. I was expecting to see a trace of the path of the bullet. All I see is a circular appearing shock wave when the shot is fired. I don't see any indication of the path of the bullet. What am I missing?

My Fav watch for the apogee in the bushes beyond the white target it appears as a disturbance in the mirage. Also the slow mo at the end gives me a woody.

Thanks for the link, Green. I can see trace in this video on some shots, but not all. I guess it is a skill to learn what to look for, and pay attention while you are watching for it. I still have a hard time picking it up as it comes down on the target though. I guess I need to spend more time watching for it/practicing. Thanks.

My thoughts exactly while i was watching it! I see a lot of semis pass and in comparision to if that was a fridge @ 800 yds then those semis had to be lets say the size of Hawaii at 8 miles. I call (cough) Bullshit.

Re: Bullet Trace
where are the semis? the target impact and rifle report times are very consistant for a shot at that range. where is the bullshit?

hell of a drop at 800 yards..thanks for the vid.

Re: Bullet Trace
No way that road is 8 miles beyond the target. Doesn't even look to be a mile past the target.
Should definately have a bigger backstop considering what's behind the target area.....

Re: Bullet Trace
Telephoto lenses have the effect of making things in the background look as though they are on or near the same plane as the subject. Might be eight miles, just look a lot closerthrough the lens.

Re: Bullet Trace
I've shot with hypno at this range, road is at least 8 miles behind target, also target is not a fridge but *roughly* a 14x28" steel plate.

Re: Bullet Trace
The answer to the range of the buildings in the background and the truck should be in the video itself. That being said, nice video and shooting respect.

Re: Bullet Trace
i liked seeing the bullet at the end of the vid. back in Oct, I was spotting at a 1000m range and we got to see some WONDERFUL .308 bullets fly the length of the range. From muzzle to target with the sun setting at our back. It was great. They looked like big copper paint balls sailing across the alfalfa. We are going to try getting it on vid whenever we shoot again.

Re: Bullet Trace
I am shooting my DPMS LR-308 16" BBL with HSM 155grn factory ammunition on a 25" plate at 500yds. This was not a accuracy test by any means. Just a quick down ad dirty 13 rounds loaded in 3 mag's down range so you can see the trace of the bullet.
Hope this helps some.

Re: Bullet Trace
My biggest issue is not seeing trace, It's getting the scope set up so I can catch it. Are you going with a low magnification on the spotting scope? where are you focusing the scope to? I've heard 2/3rds of the way downrange from some folks, and others say get the target crystal clear. At distance, I will some times loose the trace/ bullet above the head of an Iron madien or Steel Plate. What Can be done to remedy this? Thanks for any help you can give.
