    Not sure if I remember right here, but an RAF shooting instructor/range officer, told me many (many) years ago that the .22 rimfires we were using at the time, were lethal up to a mile and had a range of 3 if you just let one go up in the air. He also said that the old lee enfield 303 was lethal up to 3 miles and had a range of 7.
    I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

    Yes, I believe a .303 will carry 3 miles if elevated at 30 something degrees, and whilst it is still flying it can still kill

    I think this whole debate stems from a form of macho jealousy. These guys just can't stand to be beaten at their own game by a woman.

    This lady, Emma, is a real tinkerer. She's made all her own NV camera attachments and worked out a lot of solutions to problems by using common sense.......a thing which seems to be sadly lacking in a few doubters on here.

    Good luck Emma. I know there are hundreds of shooters that really enjoy your videos on YouTube.
