[QUOTE="dwm, post: 15793, member: 1136"] Thanks, That was real good. I have a pair of not overly expensive 10 binos which I do use, although lately I have just been using the range finder as a monocular to spot game. I also have a spotting scope that was deamed useless because of lack of eye relief. That is why I am asking about spotting scopes. So far I just use my rifle scope as a spotting scope. Will need a real spotting scope when I decide to move the targets out farther. I can see bullet holes quite a ways out with the Leupold 6.5-20x50mm LRT. Not as far as you guys shoot, but quite a ways. I make all my own targets too. I use ExactIndex heavy card stock paper. It is 8 1/2 x 11 and has a paper weight of 110 lb. Comes in 250 sheet packs from Office Max. I have drawn up some targets with a drawing package on the computer and just print them out on the heavy card stock. Three 2 inch diamonds on a 1/8 inch grid with a place to record all the data at the bottom. Bullets punch nice crisp holes. Works great. Tell me more about the white steel plates. Where do you get them and how do you hold them up? I suppose they make a cool ding when hit ... Doug [/QUOTE]
