Has anyone else had the same thoughts?
As per Google earth. is is no more than 190 yrds to the tree lines on the longest range.



Sorry, I was wrong. after looking at Google Earth on my desktop and a iPhone App that measures distance and area I now know with confidence that Gibsons 200 yard, 100 yard, and 50 yard targets are correct. The iPhone App used a winter picture that I could see the target set up through the tree line.

I guess I have learned that I have to document my bullets real world ballistics by the way my guns shoots them. That makes BDC and Nickon SpotOn almost worthless.

Wow!!! That tree line is a good 16-20 yards from the 200 yard target. Thanks! I will check GE out.
