[QUOTE="DMP25-06, post: 1940233, member: 27271"] FnSpr1akid , Did you make your trip to TripleC Range , at Cresson , Texas , today Sunday 07/12/20 ? I have shot there several times , and generally the berms behind the steel targets , on the 700-2000 yard range have had grass growing on them , making it difficult to spot misses , no dirt splash . The location that I have always shot from , Ranges A & B , has multiple rows of steel targets , beginning at 700 yards and ranging out to 1700 yards , at 100 yard intervals ( 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700 ) , and arranged in parallel configuration with the rows of targets spaced approximately 10-15 yards apart . Looking at the rows of targets , from the shooting locations , the row on the farthest left side ( I call it Row 1 ) is made up of 1 MOA sized targets ( 1000 yards = 10" and 1500 yards=15" ). Row 2 is made with 2 MOA sized targets ( 1000 yards =20" and 1500 yards=30" ) . The odd numbered rows , ( 1, 3, 5, ) are 1 MOA targets , while the even numbered rows ( 2, 4, 6 ) are 2 MOA targets . There are a couple of 1 Mile ( 1760 yards ) targets that are 2 MOA , in the rows of targets . And 1 target at 2000 yards , 2 MOA , on the horizon , farther to the left of all the rows of steel targets in the shooting lanes . All of the targets are equipped with strobe lights that flash when the targets are hit . You are shooting across a shallow valley with the 700 yard targets slightly lower than your shooting position , and the farther targets progressing slightly uphill at 100 yard intervals , on outward to the maximum range of 1700 yards that is maybe somewhat higher in elevation than your shooting position , maybe 2 degree inclination . The wind will be predominately from the right to left through the valley , even when the wind is directly from behind your shooting position . If the wind happens to be in your face at the shooting position , then the wind-flow through the valley will usually be from left to right . YOU REALLY NEED SOMEONE WHO IS A GOOD SPOTTER , as it is very difficult to spot misses , and my group of shooters has found it to be nearly impossible to watch the bullet-traces after the shot is fired . Have Fun . DMP25-06 [/QUOTE]
