[QUOTE="kroberts2131, post: 2075917, member: 11931"] The other thread about the poser guy got me thinking......when you were in the military, how did the rifle range work? For me, I was in the Marines. We had 200, 300, and 500 yard lines. Half the group on the range would go down to the pits and set up targets. The other half would do the course of fire. When you worked the pits, you stood on the back wall and watched the dirt behind your target. When you saw the splash, you jumped up and pulled down the target. Put a white cardboard disk on the spot they hit on the black.....use a black disk if they hit in the white. If they completely missed the target, we would tell the pit NCO we had a NO IMPACT, NO IDEA on our target. Whoever worked in the tower would then proceed to embarass the shooter by yelling "Target 27, NO IMPACT, NO IDEA on that shot!" Just called a buddy who is still in the Marines and he said thats exactly how they do the range still. [/QUOTE]
