Yasherka - it is deceptively in low altitude - @ 2,500' which is only about 1,200' higher than the valley floor in most areas. We live in a short, steep valley that gets fog and air inversion conditions in the winter. Fancy way to say - the mountains don't allow enough wind into the middle of the bowl that I live in and it creates air pollution.
I like this spot because I can be on site in @ 25 minutes from my backdoor. Also since it is lower in elevation I can pretty much shoot here year around. This is the Cadillac set up here - 300 -> 1,300 / flat or angles. I am set up on 1,100 at the back wall in this pic.
Good luck </div></div>
Very, very nice. I'm familiar with the bowl theory, having lived in Phoenix most of my formative years. Now I am on the plains at the foot of Pikes Peak (at 6000'), and get into the mountains at every opportunity (8000-10000'). Unfortunately, I haven't found a sweet range such as yours....yet.
