Optical Illusion?

You do not need a flash to drag the shutter.
Why this happens has been already been explained and shutter drag and shutter roll (which I learned tonight for the first time in 10 years) are two different occurrences with shutter drag not being a digital aberration: shutter drag is part of photography, it is the result of a long exposure/sensitivity of an specific ISO or (speed of the film for analogs)and it has been part of photography since the invention of photography In 1837 by Louis Daguerre... lol
Shutter roll on the other hand, is just an aberration and an occurrence of low end or older digital sensors as it only happens in digital photography...
Try to shutter roll your analogic camera please and report back to us.

shutter drag is usually referred to when you are using a flash and a longer exposure to get more ambient light which isnt why this happens. this picture happens because of the way an image is captured where the shutter rolls across the image and captures different parts at different points in time. It really only shows up with fast moving objects but it is correctly called a rolling shutter. You see it less in higher end cameras simply because you can tune your shutter speed better and avoid it, not because the image is taken instantaneously.

thought it was pretty clear I was only talking about digital cameras...Altho I am curious why a film camera doesnt have a similar effect considering that the shutters operate the same way... must have something to do with how a digital sensor reads the light... to google
 
Well guess someone has to go out and buy a high speed camera to put this one to rest.
Say in the range to 1000 fpm or better.

It must be extremely noisy shooting at that range considering it's design.

Yes, the closed in nature of the line, and the baffles do tend to make it noisy. Another annoying side effect of the baffles is the inability to see targets unless you are positioned just right. It is a particular problem on the handgun line in winter...snow build up on the ground raises the line of sight for taller people like me, to well above the targets...simply put, you have to stand back from the actual firing line to be able to see the targets.

Also, a quick look at the baffles shows lots of bullet holes in the lower portions...they are very obstructing of view.

Yes, but it looks like at least you have some sort of absorptive material on the ceiling. Some dumbass at the Mission range here decided to put rigid styrofoam panels in the ceiling above the positions on the rifle range, which wasted a lot of time and money and achieved bupkis as far as sound absorption is concerned! Roxul Safe N' Sound would have been more expensive but it would have helped.
