[QUOTE="JeffVN, post: 359389, member: 2261"] I finally was able to get goggle earth to cooperate and spit out my range image. Here is a goggle view of the site from behind the firing point looking roughly due NORTH, with the target points shown as pins at 1,500, 1,800, 2,200, and 2,500 yards. [IMG]http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r404/JDVN/ranges/MoapaRange_Page_1.jpg[/IMG] Note the hill to the left of direct line of sight to the 1,500 and 1,800 yard target points. We would have a spotter stationed on the backside of that hill, in complete defelade and safety to spot bullet impacts for us. The intermediate spotter point is roughly 1,000 yards closer to the far points than the firing point and provides a MUCH better opportunity to give feedback for adjustment calls. Before you ask, yes we already have2-way radios for use on this site that function properly from the spotter's vantage point. Also notice the gravel road(s) that goes over to and then parallels the target route and the washout areas or dry streams that as of today are running freely with water from last nights rain.
