What are the arches (skyscreens) that are in front of the shooters on the rifle and pistol range. Are these conograph screens? If so, why the short spaceing if that is what they are. Why would they want to know there velocity? Most match 22's fall in a narrow band anyway and I'am sure they have there lot numbers already selected.
Nice pictures of the LG-100 in use. Some how the laminated wood just doesn't seem to go with a state of the art gun. I did notice that some of the 22's with aluminum stocks had laminated check and forearm pieces. Great pictures. Fell in love with the blonde in the black and white leathers.

Yup. And looks like he's using a Gehmann 595MC lockable rear sight rather than then normal Steyr cantable sight. My Steyr sight has a little bit of free play in it, going to the Gehmann will no doubt fix that. Interesting...

Grip and cheekpiece are always wood so they won't feel cold to the touch.
By the way, am I seeing things or is everybody having their support arm jacket sleeves way up and touching the stock in prone and kneeling? Isn't that illegal?

Yes, it is illegal, but everybody does it...

A vital element of the acoustical scoring system.
The screens record the delivery of a shot at the firing line, which is then correlated to the sound (location) of the shot downrange. This way, crossfires are eliminated- no wait- the confusion resulting from a crossfire and the subsequent difficulty for the "recipient" are eliminated. The crossfires, of course, still occur!
Removes all doubt as to who shot what and where it landed.
