Judging the Distance
This is not a Parker thread so much as it is a general shooting thread. We were shooting 5-stand over Thanksgiving and noticed the 6-bird was way out there. So much so that when you connected with it there was a noticeable gap in the report of the gun and the break of the bird. You heard the gun and then ----- the bird broke. At what distance does this begin to happen? Since the 5-stand is on an old skeet field and the shooting stations align with the #4 position, I was judging the bird to be maybe 40 yards out. All other shots were instantaneous with the sound of the gun.
