This view shows the lighted chronograph screens and the table where
the bullet trap was eventually positioned (the backstop at the Cortez
Rifle and Pistol Club indoor range is not designed to stop high-velocity
rifle bullets). Also note that after preliminary testing, in order
to improve velocity measurement accuracy, we moved the gun back so
that the center screen was 15-feet from the muzzle. Notice how far
above the bench top we have deliberately positioned the rifle barrel;
our goal was to minimize insulating or reflective heating effects.
