Yesterday, as I was playing with my father-in law's laser range finder, I began to think of how I might use it for HD purposes. I figured that if I knew ahead of time the range to various spots where an intruder or other from a SHTF scenario, I would be in a better position to more accurately place my shots, especially if the distance was beyond 100 yards. So I began going to each window, looking out to see what cover a person might use against me, and began ranging with the range finder. I discovered that the condominiums acroos the ComEd easement weren't as far away as I thought, and the garages for said condominiums were even closer. Good brick cover there. I alos found that the clump of trees down the way were a lot farther than I thought, and I woudl be shooting a lot lower than I wanted had a BD used that for cover.
I figured if I knew exactly how my HD rifles shot, and how the bullets dropped at particular ranges with particular loads, then I could make things very uncomfortable for anyone wanting to make things unconfortable for me. I also figured that if I knew the distance to a particular landmark (tree, rock, etc.) then I would be good for anything in that vicinity. I could also share this information with any rifleman who happened to be bunking down at my house.
Good idea, or do I have too much time on my hands?
