Gotta be one of the cutest spotters I've ever heard/seen!MER 440

100%. Some of you guys live and shoot in gorgeous places. Without giving away spots I’ve love to know state/quadrant or mtn range-level info if folks are willing to share.
Went to shoot yesterday AM, I have to hike a ways into my spot so thought Id use a cardboard circle instead of lugging steel. Well, most of the way in I found a random piece of metal with a prominent ring on it that was just an inch or so smaller than my 10” circle…I figured Id use it instead and Id be able to hear the impact. looked kind of like a car part or something, except it was a mile from the nearest forest service road in a designated wilderness. Got to my spot, jammed it between two trees, hiked 450 yards down the beaver meadow, set up cameras and spotters and shot…and nothing. Silence. Target still up. Replaying the video, it appeared I hit the tree as a piece of bark flew off. Since the shot felt pretty good, I decided my zero must have finally been off, so I wrote off the challenge for the day and repeated with two more walked-up shots. Same thing, zero feedback. Bummed that not only had I disqualified this shot from the challenge, but also that my rifle seemed to acting screwy, I packed up and walked back to retrieve my targets, wondering if Id be able to get out two more times.
Apparently old abandoned car parts dont move or make noise when you shoot them. Guess I’ll try again in a week or two if theres still openings.

Central cascades for me. Decent spot in the summer as it’s usually 10-15 degrees cooler up there and nice views of Rainier. But the new growth is getting a little tall and it’s a haul to get there.
I dunno man... Check out my update to post #18 from todays shot (shot number 2). Looks like that little baby .224 has some KNOCK DOWN POWER!!!
A trick to phone scoping is taking away the phones ability to autofocus. It’s a nightmare.
Awesome I will try that for sure, it sounds like that's probably what it was doing just couldn't get it to focus crisp enough for any worthwhile video. Hopefully this will make it useable until I can get a better set up but there's less options for Samsung I'm realizing. Anyway thanks again for the advice much appreciated.
headed there now!
found it. Definitly some wallop. Ryan/Jake gonna freak out
Yep, seeing the same. Trying a test photo
