    A funny tidbit is we could hear the thud from the hit. Sometimes we hear our hits and sometimes not, it surprised me to hear the hit off this tiny soft steel lying on the ground. That double headed monster is not our normal gong, its a swinging target that we can hear better off to the right.

    This is the usual 1300 gong.

    Well yeah, I mean, who can't hit it with spray paint at contact distance? I don't see what the big deal is :-)

    The gong at 900 yards is actually harder to hit. The wind or whatever will make you chase your ass.

    I'm ready.

    I read your post, and I've spent the last hour chasing my ass. Once I observed the puppy and took notes, I've caught it each time.

    Very cool stuff. Nothing more enjoyable shooting wise than ringing steel at distance. I made an attempt at 1710 this past weekend. Went really close with two shots right underneath the plate. Although I was 0 for 25, I learned a lot and will be on a mission to get it done

    The range I shoot at has targets at roughly 250, 350, 450, 550, 650, 800, 875 and 1000. The 650 bewitches me. It has magical qualities and I probably have a ratio of 1:4 hits on it to the 1000 yard target. It is off to one side and the terrain changes. It's like the wind opens up there and I haven't found the solution yet.

    Vegas, you’re talking about range 9 at DSRPC right?
    That steel over at 650, being on the other side seems to have different wind doesn’t it? I for sure know what you mean.

    I love it when you get an occasional day with no wind. Good for the ego. But wind is what makes it fun / challenging too. Without it, it would get boring. Wind The double edged sword!

    That's it exactly. If we dump 2 or 3 at 900, we move on. That target will drain your ammo box.
