Long range sight corrections

[Don McDowell]

Kurt the vortex's that come off of those canyons and that butte on either side of the range at Raton would be an interesting study. A "smoke" machine placed at certain places up there would surely provide some valuable observations.
That deal there at Big Hill in that canyon with those ridges and the trees makes an almost impossible situation to spot. Ekalaka has somewhat of the same thing with the Rocks and the pine groove along the way to the buffalo.
I noticed the last time I shot at Alliance, those trees along the west side of the property have grown big enough now that they are throwing some interesting things into consideration for the 500 yd gong especially.
I've about come to the conclusion that at Byers, unless you see a real change in the windflag on top of the target berm or change in the mirage at the target line, you can get into real trouble trying to chase the windflags between the firing lines .
