Maybe I'm over sensitive, but a range with bullet holes in the back of its chairs would give me pause :lol:
Oh, and did you get tired as the shoot went on and that's why your shots walked down the target ? :razz:

Loved the videos Robert. Felt for the guy on the right hand end of the line in the second one though, looked like the smoke never quite cleared in front of him before the next shot.
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.
