    Another thing I learned shooting long range s the tmbling effect. When I first started we out a big sheet of ply behind the gong so we could see were we were missing. We were calling hit on wood with the first couple shots but couldnt connect on steel. On closer inspection we found a torn up strip of grass around 20-30 meters infont of the target and sideways profiles of the bullets at random all over the ply. The bullets were hitting the ground and bouncing like a cricket ball a flying off into the distance. It was a safe setup but I had not experienced this before as normally theres a trench and bullet buried in the dirt. So ricochet can happen of the paddok floor and it doesnt have to be a hard surface.
