    Default Aerial Picture, 50 cal shoot, 2007 Ft Morgan

    I'm not sure when this was taken for sure. Maybe 2007, might even be at Cheyenne Wells. Someone had an RC helicopter out there and took this picture.

    Thought I'd share it with you guys, it gives a good distance scale of some of the propane tank targets that were out there, the fresh tracks in the field and how big the firing line was. It doesn't show any of the bigger targets that were WAY out there, I think there were a few cars too.

    Those night shoots were something to experience! Sure miss 'em.Click image for larger version.

    I think I was at this one. A group with a 88 blew out some windows on the Humvee next to it(shock wave)

    My dollar says that's at Cheyenne Wells. Me and the grandson were there that year, and that sure looks like the place. It was a hoot! I heard the firing line was 900 yards long. That photo doesn't do justice to the actual size of the whole thing. We didn't even get from end to end, and that weekend sure cost me a lot of money! But we got to see and shoot things we'll never get to again.

    The firing line had 110 shooting positions each 10 foot long for a total of 1100 feet of firing line. All positions had at least 1000 yards down range. Some positions on the west (?) end of the line had out to 1300 yards down range. That would be on the upper end of the picture. I have a shot up target barrel sitting in my back yard from one of those shoots.

    I have a 50 Cal and would love to go. Is this an anual get-to-gether? That looks like so much fun.

    I think I was at that one as well. Shot some of blukers guns but didn't have enough to shoot the 50 of the HUMVEE.
    this shoot inspired me to get my Barrett! Wish the shoot was still going.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
