    1000 yd question

    Can anyone here recomend a cheap wireless camera system to relay pictures of a paper target and hits at 1000 yds? May be wrong place to ask but anyone shooting long range must have a method ?

    There are a couple ways you can do this.
    If your range has a hot spot for internet you can do this with two laptops. or you can use your cell phone.
    If you understand simple circuits like this you can do it with two radios. I started to build one for the Wasserburger Mile shoot but that shoot fell through for me so I did not finish it.
    or do a search for a converter where you can use a inexpensive security camera and two radios and a TV set on your end.

    I use the target sight it works well. to a point but after about 1200 yards it gets a little wonky with out the relay antenna. I run 3 relays at about 3000 yards. also any thing that runs radio you will and can have interference. but I also set up a record camera also, go pro works so if there is any breaks you still have it recorded. phones do work but for me here we don't have that good of cell phone coverage. private ranch is good for long range as long as you move the cattle or change range sites. we have 4 old ham radio towers we are going to set up this summer and see if I can get them to work. with no interference if I get it to wok I am going to post it here with video and pics. don't know yet?

    ​​ how about digging a pit just ahead of the target and put one of your shooting buddies in it? Not quite purple font but close
