Link to first video.

100 grains of cannon grade, netted about 250 feet. Second shot (200 grains of cannon grade) was still going up at over 200 yds when I lost sight of it. Third shot (100 grains of 3F) was falling at about 300 yds when I lost sight of it.
I painted the gb's fluorescent orange thinking that would help, didn't seem to.

It would be funny, yes!
With a little load development you could miss the sand traps and water hazards and drop it right on the greens.

Gentlemen the safety monitor drops in...if you don't know where you ball is landing that is not good. If you don't know where it is going you can't know that it is landing in a safe area.

In case anyone thinks I was careless. Where I was shooting was a shooting area in a national forest. The direction I was shooting has no roads or trails for 4 miles. In fact it is hard to walk through there as it is second growth (low and bushy).
Also I was the only person on the dead end road.

Obviously Jeeper1 was thing safety when he selected that spot. Just a reminder to the rest of you. Think about where that ball is going to land before you shoot.

Good advice Douglas Over here if you don't answer that question right in the test you don't get a shooters licence.

On your "my videos" page to the right of the thumbnail among the data is a shaded, blue outlined box, do a copy and paste of the contents.
