Alternate which way you go around trees. You'd be surprised.View attachment 706680
Going to try it ‘old school’ first.
Land nav was never my strongest skill set.Alternate which way you go around trees. You'd be surprised.
Use the bezel ring like you’re doing night land nav. Keeps your azimuth a bit better.Land nav was never my strongest skill set.
I’ve got a rough idea of where it’s going and the trees marked accordingly. I’m wanting to tweak it a tiny bit on each end (firing line and impact area) and I’m running into my limit of being able to do the math.
What app are you using?I think I have a rough idea at least. It took me all afternoon and walking back and forth about 20 times, but my dog still enjoyed the time in the woods.
I marked probably 20-30 trees w/caution tape and have a definite spot for a firing line.

I just need to work out my preferred spot for a backstop and then will start cutting the lane.

The locations pictured are my firing line and my potential backstop area. They’re relatively ‘flat’ but there’s a big drop in between them where the log road comes up from my back yard. The road needs to be cleared and groomed as well.
I used a free app called ‘My Altitude’ just to validate my ‘feelings’ that the firing line and impact area were relatively ‘flat’ to each other. They are…or at least very close and almost could be considered exact within the margin of error listed.What app are you using?
And @Mesatchornug has been giving me some pointers on the ‘OnX’ app that I’ll be getting soon so I can ‘map’ my whole property and all the trails. I’m waiting until the end of the month to get it because I overdid it on Christmas and cow expenses last month and need to recoup, but it should do the same or similar as any Garmin.What app are you using?
I just Googled that ONX app. Looks pretty nice.And @Mesatchornug has been giving me some pointers on the ‘OnX’ app that I’ll be getting soon so I can ‘map’ my whole property and all the trails.
