Nice report on your experience. I drive past Wytheville each time i travel from FL to PA.
By turnpike i assume your referring to interstate 81 or possibly 77. That same mountain chain runs north
all the way to Maine. Same one im looking out the window at right now. The area you were in has more farm land
and especially pasture land than this area which has basicly none. Im assuming the instructors used a spotting scope
to watch for your shots? Was all the shooting from a prone position, or were benches used? Was any emphasis placed
on the importance of using a spotter (person) while shooting long distances? How did they deal with misses, were you
told to dial the correction or hold over using your reticle? Did they use or reccomend using a wind meter in doping the wind?
