Col Murph,

Yeah, I remember the first time I worked the pits at 600 yards.
I remember thinking how much the bullets sounded like a bullwhip cracking when they snapped through the targets overhead.

At 600 yards the sound of the shot arrived about 2 seconds after the bullet arrived...kind of a

SNAP!.................(boom)

SNAP!.................(boom)

One time when I was working the pits a shooter put a round through the dowel from the previous shot. The disc came down and hit me on the head! I called the firing line and dared him to do it again. He didn't! LOL!
