aaron airgunner Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 i just did the same thing! i went to the last shot i rememberd (a squizzer on the edge of a wood) and measured from the barn i shot from. i guessed it 40 yrds and google earth said 43.6 yrds!

ttalbot09 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 awsome. i love this technology. iv also been doing things like finding the maximum range of my rifle with hawke chairgun pro. and measuring how far from my front door the pellet would land if the rifle was angled properly.

ttalbot09 Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 nice one. mate. good shot with the shotty. .. and its also good for looking at your permissions and finding out ranges from your permision walk so you know what range to zero and stuff. really helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I used this when I had my .22-250. It was zeroed at 150 yards, so I printed out the map of my permission on A4, and cut out a circle of clear plastic sheet to scale from 100 yards to 250 yards. With the middle of the circle where I was, I could guesstimate ranges anywhere on my shoot much more accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used google for months now to check falls of shot, but what a good idea for range finding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
