Picture of 1150 yard gong

This pic is nothign of importance. Just seeing how my Nikon camera would zoom in and take a pic at 1150 yards. The target on the right is a 14" steel square plate, the target on left is a 10-12" rock. I spraypainted them both white. I've had guys tell me im crazy for shooting that far, and when I show them actually where I'm shooting, which takes a couple minutes because most people think I"m joking when I tell them to look at the far horizon, they are astonished. They must not think rifles are capable of shooting that far or something. They all said there amazed I can even hit that big huge sand bank, let alone my targets, or close to them.

I hope that's not somebodies house on top of that hill. I can't tell for sure in the picture.

Rem Man,

Hard to grasp by the pic just how far your targets are.
Can you show a picture with a more panaramic view.
500 yds is a looong shot in my neck of the woods.

That is not a house, its a resovoir on the other side. Its a water tower type of thing. I walk over there all the time to check, I had to check what was over there in the first place. Trust me, I'm not that stupid to be shooting towards a house. Although, I'm sure some of you would disagree. JD, I'll take a pic of the targets not as far zoomed in if you would like. It might look a lot farther then. But then they would just look like little white tiny specs!! 1150 yards is quite a ways, only 610 yards from a mile!
