Aerial Picture, 50 cal shoot, 2007 Ft Morgan

[flogger]

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.

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

I was there in the white Hummer!

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.

They have similar shoots in Wyo. and Nev. but nothing in the works for Colorado shoots. Insurance and the ever present EPA crap maintains the silence on the plains.

If you have a chance to go to one out of state, do it. You wont be dissapointed.
