Tune your gun with tracer rounds

I’ve been experimenting with this for a while but when shawnlyndy started this thread in the springers section I thought it might be worth while to share:

By shooting at night - especially at distance- with an extremely bright light (I use a 3k lumen flashlight under my gun pointed at the target) the pellet lights up in the scope and acts like a tracer round so you can see it throughout its trajectory. This makes it a breeze to dial your scope in, not to mention the fps of your gun if used with a chrony because you can see if the pellet is doing anything crazy in flight without having to resort to high speed footage. 

Plus it’s just cool. Any body else try this?
 
Indeed, noticed this effect a few years ago and do recommended it.

It’s also just a good cure for the winter time blues. It’s depressing right after the time changes and it’s suddenly dark when I get off work. But with a “thrower” LED flashlight on a tripod, I can shoot at night any time I want.

Another benefit is that the winds are usually calm at night!
