    the steel gongs hang on a frame one at 200yrds and the other at 300yrds sprayed with construction spray line marker with a 1 inch orange sticker in the centre so there is no need for paper targets,
    so before going out that night i shoot at the 200 to make sure its bang on and then at 300 to double check the scope for the longer range shot and if there is and wind shift i can see it when the bullet strikes the steel plate.
