:haha:  I'm workin on it man!  It's just so much easier to resize the pics for pirate since they can be a lot bigger.  Here you go.

First pic is the guy with a .338 lapua, loudest frickin cannon I've ever heard  :haha:

Second pic is of the 3 year old girl who was walking around behind him, then to the left of the cone there was a tree that she just kept circling singing "la la la la la la" the whole time, and not once did she so much as flinch when he shot that thing  :rofl2:  I couldn't help but chuckle when she just kept singing, seemingly oblivious to the shooting! 

Third pic was a guy to his left, and if you look in the distance you can barely see the 1000 yard targets.  Next pic is of his gun, but he was busy talking to friends so I didn't get to find out what it was.  We ended up talking to the two guys in hoodies in the third pic.  The one on the left was the little girl's dad, and when I mentioned that she hadn't flinched once and that she seemed to have a very good understanding of staying behind the line, he just kinda chuckled about the no flinching and said she was just very well mannered and did what she was told.  It showed, the whole time we sat there talking she just sat right next to him watching the guys shooting, and she only said anything when he asked her a question.

Fourth pic is standing by the bench looking down range toward the 600 and 1000 yard berms.  The small white dot by the little yellow wind sock is the 600 yard berm, and the small series of several white dots toward the ridgeline are the 1000 yard targets.  The next pic is from the same spot but zoomed out.  I've long said I can't judge yardage well at all, which was totally evident when the guy told us the closer berm was only 600 yards, cause I woulda guessed it to be between 300-400 yards!  I guess I really DO need to buy a rangefinder before I go pronghorn antelope hunting!

RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
