Anyone tried using drone for ELR to spot your impact..let say from mile or beyond..
It should work like bullseye camera?

Federal regulations say you should keep line of sight on the drone. I don't know if that applies on private property but you could get f***ed in the @$$ on BLM land, especially during hunting season.

Bjay, I regularly use a Mavic Pro to spot hits at ELR ranges. Its great because I can have it hover above and slightly in front of the target, then pause and move the drone close to the target to see grouping. I have a ton of fun with it when we use it.
I'll add that its not the best option for spotting shots all day long, but it is a viable option. Batteries only last 25-35min. At times we'll just send it out after a string of shots and bring it back and not hover the target. They're fun and can be used for a million different types of shooting we do.
Gotta love the keyboard law offices of snipers hide making sure you follow FAA regulations.
Its hard to see when you're hitting same hole at a mile you know lolYou'll def get some nice footage of you consistently missing that target over and over again
Its hard to see when you're hitting same hole at a mile you know lol
Lmao it gets boring when too accurate..You would list that gun for sale before sending that second shot confirmation
We responsibly use a drone to check hits at a mile and beyond, to find hogs in fields at night, and to check other agricultural things out on the farm.
Responsibly and very legally. No problems.
Battery life is an issue. 6 batteries minimum and an in vehicle charger, and life goes on.
However, Bashers (???) cousin is our crop duster, and he has repeatedly challenged us to a crop duster versus drone duel. We have respectfully declined each time, because Basher asked us nice to leave his crazy cousin alone, but cuz keeps zipping canada geese out of the fields in lieu of drones, got more feathers and shit stuck on the duster than a double coated goose. He has to clean off the sides to paint little goose kills every trip. He's started down one wing now. Says he won't rest until he gets a drone though. Gotta watch them duster pilots close.
All joking aside, our last duster pilot was crazy as a shit house rat, and hunted things ....
This blows my mind.. What faa restrictions is a guy going to break flying a drone to check his targets? Rotary wing flies 500' and below but only in approved surveyed low level routes. If there's a gun range alone the route, a big ass red circle called a "no fly" is placed around the range so you avoid it. Even at 500' and below, nobody is going to fly along at high speed under 100'.. The drone idiots are the ones who fly their drones along approach and departure corridors near airports. Everybody else, unless they're flying a drone at 1500-31000' isn't bothering anyone.
Do you have one for sell lol..ill tell her its for the kids to play with hahaBjay, the only "hole" you will repeatedly hit over and over is the one formed
by your thumb and fingers... once mama sees the drone receipt...
Maybe it's different for the dod but we map no fly areas specifically to avoid hazards such as shooting ranges, wind farms, houses that complain when you fly over them nice and low, bird farms.. We also have guidelines outside faa regulations for how low you can fly for safety reasons. For us, it's no lower than 100' over smooth level terrain which we're doing at 230gs. I'm pretty surprised the civilian aviators don't practice this, especially if you're flying below 500' agl. Then again maybe you don't have dms, moving maps, and all the other fun stuff we get. If you're using foreflight, you can download a lot of this stuff. My foreflight has no fly rings drawn and so do our moving maps. If you're using paper charts, I feel sorry for you. It sounds like if you're over flying a shooting range below 500', that's poor planning.
LmaoAll freak outs aside... I use one on a couple targets that are particularly hard to spot hits on. The drone works great and hasn't maimed or murdered anyone yet.
