[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 2007, member: 25"] Brent, Your program is right on - my Kestral wind meter was giving me 12 mph. We use 44 minutes at 1100 so I knew this was farther - poor little .308 bullets must be about pooped-out! We have a bunch of steel plates, three thicknesses now. 0.5", 0.375" and 0.25". Just got the lightest stuff, plan on making four new gongs, 24"x48", will paint the outline of a deer's body on them. We will just shoot the 1/4" plates at 700 and longer, will have them angled to deflect the bullets into the ground. We are using some cheap saw-horse clamps that hold 2x4's, make a simple rack to hang the big plates on. Just got an old swing-set that is also good for hanging targets on. You are correct, we are having a bunch of fun - burning a lot of ammo and learning wind. Thanks, ian [/QUOTE]
