Caldwell Target Camera and Trapdoor

[Rowdy Rick]

Wow how far back is that camera,20 +ft?
Nice shooting with the trapdoor.

Don, I didn't measure it but would guess at least 13 ft. maybe a little more. The camera makes it look just a little farther. The thing I was most worried about using the camera on gongs before buying was shooting the camera or fratricide hitting camera. I think you would have to be trying hard to hit the camera as you can get it back and off to side a fairly safe distance. Of course my friend Wild Bill just sent me an e-mail after trying his out for the first time and said don't use a white bullseye on gong. If you do paint the camera a different color than white.. He must have had camera really close in front of target. It took him 4 shots before he realized he was shooting at the camera. Said he had a really nice group and can't figure out why he didn't hit the camera (bull) as he is a pretty good shot Said his shooting angel must have been watching over him To be fair he just had eye surgery and still has some vision problems.

The trapdoor has one of the best bores I have looked down and anxious to try it out to 800 yds when weather clears up some. I am sure you are getting the cold windchill stuff like us.
