[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 201253, member: 2736"] What your seeing is the shockwave produced by the bullet. This shock wave destorts the light waves making it visible to the eye when looking through a spoting scope. When looking through a spoting scope or a camera zoomened up if you dont blink (Some times hard to do) you will see this very often at longer distance. This method is used by many long range target shooters who are spoting for the shooter to call the shot on paper when shooting rapid fire (10 to 20 rounds with out pulling and marking the target). The best place to be to see the shock wave is directly behind and just above the shooter with a good spoting scope on 15 power or higher (I like 20 to 30 power) with the bottom of the field of view on the center of the target. This prevents the bullet path from passing above the field of view of the spoting scope. In high humidity this schock wave will be even easer to see . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
