Was out today doing some shooting & brought my handycam along to document my hits @ 800yds. The first 3 shots miss...just. And working as my own spotter didn't help with exactly how far off target I was. The next 4 shots fired hit dead on!!

Thats the sound a bullet makes at supersonic speeds.:D

I guess, never tried standing that close. :p

If you crank up the sound you can hear the actual gunshot about a second after the bullet strike. Very strange to hear a bullet impact that far from the muzzle, nice vid and nice shooting!

What he said!! Camera is down in a hole, so the gunshot on most shots is hard to hear. I believe the third shot that hits the steel is the best rep of actually hearing the gunshot, it sounds like a low "pop" after the "ping"

And kona, you are correct...that's the sound of a bullet breaking the sound barrier, quite interesting!!

Thanks CyaN1de for embedding the link, I'll have to learn that trick one day!

Camera is likely inside 15ft from the gong so sonic boom and impact as essentially the 'same' timing.

Nice shooting. I thought there would be more splats in the paint. Couldn't really tell where you hit.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that Jerry...I shoulda trimmed all the dead grass & weeds outta the way...next time for sure!! And you're correct about camera placement.
 
Good shooting. Been thinking of trying this with a camera waaay out there also, but then got looking into wireless cameras as that would be better yet, and then got looking at full blown wireless target systems, and then checked into the price, and then just went and laid on the couch until all the thoughts went away. :)

Was doing this lastnight as well...cheapest I could find was over $500, but then got to looking @ putting one together myself...I did find some TX & RX kits that started a lot cheaper than what a full system purchase would be. Might be able to put one together for way less than the one's already on the market. I'll keep searching & post back some results!

IF you have a camera (digicam or digi camera) and limit to 700/800yds, the TX/RX is dirt cheap off Ebay. Look for a 2W set up with RCA connectors and the same language as the camera you are using.

These usually get to you for well under $100.

TFT LCD screens with 7" and 9" the most popular and least money (screens used for videos in minivans). $50 to 100. Make sure they run on 12V and have RCA connectors for video in.

Add a couple of 12V power sources - vehicle is one that always comes with you. Second can be a small lead acid from a motorbike/quad.

I use RC lipo batteries as I have the stuff handy from flying.

Tripods or build a stand as needed.

Big one is line of sight. Get a blade of grass between the antennae and it is over. I keep my TX and RX as high up as the tripods will go (say 5ft).

There are more powerful TX/RX that can go 1000yds and further but I have not tried them yet (this spring for sure).

If you are ok with a bit of simple electrical wiring, you should be able to build your own set up for around $200 minus camera.

No hi def stuff here but enough to see bullet holes in a white target.

...that's a lot cheaper than the kit I was looking at. I already have a monitor that will work for this, as well as the camera (obviously)...another tripod or long poles should work to elevate the TX & RX modules for a clear LOS. As for a power source(s) I have access to Motomaster Eliminator powerbox & a couple of deep cycle 12V batteries, so hopefully I can get this up & running for a lot less than $200!!

Thanks for the info Jerry & Fatboyz!!
 
Looks like a good way to pass the afternoon. Next thing you guys will mount the camera on a helicopter so you can keep track of shots when hunting,:p something fast to keep up with a coyote leaving in a hurry.:D
