My grandmother's farm was 160 acres. 100 was farm and the other 60 was
wooded or reclaimed to forest. I loved going camping out there as well as
hunting. There were spots where we could shoot our rifles out to 500 yards.
The local clubs and ranges were usually limited to 200 yards. Shooting out
to 200 is not that hard but after 350 yards factors such as trajectory need
to be factored in.
For a couple of years back in the 1980's some selct cut lumber was harvested,
and the loggers left some trails that we continued to maintain through the
woods. I'm sure flying a drone via a camera feed would've been fun along
those trails.
