Yesterday while at the 300m range shooting my 243 at one of the 100m boards I had a thought that had never crossed my mind before. Are the bullets actually hitting that burm another 200m away.
A little geography
Our 300m range has a couple of smaller elevated areas at 100 and 200m. These have pipe sunk into the ground so a person can put up a target board at the closer ranges if they so choose. I don't know exactly how tall it is but the 20' or so burm is right behind the fixed 300m target boards. I was shooting a target board that was set up 100m from the firing line.
I wonder if that piece of conveyor belt material and paper I was shooting through could deflect the bullets flight enough to miss the backstop?
