[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 71889, member: 25"] Lablover, I beieve we were discussing setting up the screens using a laser to get them parallel to the flight of the bullet. I was using a simple laser pointer, more recently I obtained an actual bore-laser that works even better. You need two guys for this process, and a decently adjustable set of stands. .. confirm that the rifle is empty .. aim the rifle at the target .. setup the Skyscreens and stands, 10' in front of the muzzle .. roughly move the stands to align with the target area .. with the screens placed in front of the target and the second guy adjusting the stands, have him hold a dark piece of cardboard directly over the screen, starting with the front screen. .. send the laser down the line of the bore, hitting the cardboard. Adjust the closest stand and screen till the height is about 4-5 inches over the screen and dead center. .. move to the farthest screen and repeat. Aways fire a shot or two to check the setup - the closer your two numbers are to each other the better the setup. ian [/QUOTE]
