Walking it out

[Hateful McNasty]

Yesterday i got to wondering how many miles i walked out to the 100y rack.

I shot 5 cards 20 shots each, every 5 shots i walk down and back checking my hits ( i got optics ) ,. So thats 800 yards per card x 5 4000y ÷ 1760 comes to 2.272 miles. No wonder i was glad to pull my boots off that evening..lol ( check my math it hurts to do it ,i needs Excedrin )

Now will it knock off some this beer and pok rib gut ?

Yeah thats a good hike. I get enough exercise at work though. Optics for the win.

I do exactly the same and lot of times every shot when using peeps @! 40 yards max in my range at home .

Even with binoculars or a scope them .177 holes just dont pop out like using copy paper ..

Man them papermill jobs keep you humping the miles then add the covayor belt tower ramps .. that will build up a guys leg strength.. new guys go maybe 1/4 ways and stop drop and gasp for air ..lol

It adds up without realizing it.

I have a Bushnell spotting scope that never gets used. Lmk if you might be interested. Then again, exercise is good!

That's my debate...walk or spot bc I was my dad's spotter/target setter.
Now I'm....mine

Thanks...

Ya, i thought about one a few times . Like my scopes probably collect more dust the use. Then more to drag out and put up . The x16 binoculars don't see them all . Like here i had to hold it up to the sky so light shines through the holes just to get a picture and still near missed one . So 100 y away its walk and look anyway. On the rack near invisible . Reactive targets too costly as much as i shoot

DYI shoot and see . bright poster board , cover in clear box sealing tape ( yes pain in a@@ ) spray paint over tape .

cut a hole in cardboard to use as a mask , spray dot with different color paint , or use white out to draw

Yw, but when that .89¢ spray paint went to $2.98. ...lol. It's hard to build back better when you cant afford a cheap can of spray paint to finish ot up..

I also got multi colored tad thicker copy paper . I used yellow today but .... It also has red, blue and green maybe a orange? I think i do have some extra rolls clear box tape .. ill try it next go round and see..

Used to use packing/sealing tape (PIA), then I got smart & bought a cheap roll of clear, self adhesive laminate from a "dollar" store. 12" x 48" roll. Now it's WAY easier to make splatter targets with day glo posterboard & cheap, flat black, rattle can paint. I use red or orange self sticking dots as my aim point.
