There is a gun club neer by that has a 300 yard range with steel plates. Can you hear the bullet hit from that far out?
Pretty sure the original poster, is asking from the shooters perspective, if he can hear a steel gong at 300 yds ring after hitting it with his .30-06. Not asking the targets perspective.IF the bullet is still traveling at supersonic speed on impact, then NO you cannot "hear" it coming, but upon impact, it will certainly make a sound.
With a supersonic fire, the round will arrive before the sound of the shot.
IF the shooter is using a suppressor, then the shot will arrive with ZERO secondary "boom" in the distance.
If the bullet is traveling supersonic as it passes human ears on it's way to the recipient's head, a "crack" will be heard. If the bullet is subsonic, no "crack" will be heard.
Seriously????I developed Tinnitus back in the 1960s. I took treatments for it after many decades. Damn I missed the ringing so much after all those years. I stopped taking the cure. That is not unusual.
you must have been in artillery, and use to lobbing the shells in!I like the life size metal silhouettes that hang from chains and swing when you hit them. (Like the sniper school uses) spinners are fun too.
Falling plates are fun as long as they have automatic reset.
And BTW, with a solid rest it isn't hard to hit a life size silhouette at 300 with a 7 1/2 inch .44 magnum pistol. Usually takes me two or three shots to get the range though
I know the feelingHaven't shot at anything at 300 yd's sense I left the Military !...............
