New Target at "The Spot"?

Post by robert hode »

I went shooting at "The Spot" today.
There is a round, red steel target, along a path about 50 yards to the right and a little above our 1k target.
I seems to be about 1300 yards out (based on dope I dialed up) my LRF won't pick it up.
Is this ours or did someone else set it up?

It's closer to 1205 yards. It was brought out a few weeks ago. Apparently it had been hiding behind a bush for quite a while.

Basically, is it cool for us to shoot?

When we were shooting at it 2 weeks ago the wind switched from a right-to-left wind at 1000 to a left-to-right wind at 1200. It was crazy!! People were holding their 1000 wind holdover at 1200 and their shots were hitting out of the FOV of my scope lol

I got a wild hair and went up this AM after work from about 8:30 - 10:30.
80F and about 2-3 mph wind. It was great!

We were looking at about 100 degrees and 20mph winds. We didn't hit it to many times. :lol:

Bruno put that red target out there originally about a year ago.
God shoots a Remington 700, drives a Chevy Truck and carries a Glock 19.
I don't do any of those things.

I remember that, I think it was made of plastic (could be wrong) you asked him "how will we know if you hit it"

It's a plastic 5 gallon bucket lid.
