Artillery sighting
I took a picture of my artillery though never have fired it. Can someone translate the number on the sight for actual yards in aiming if possible!

They are in hundreds, and would represent meters. 1=100meters
2=200meters etc. The extreme distances are really only for volley fire and not meant to engage a single target

Why not try the distant shots and see how good on accuracy. Let us know how you make out.

Someone around here was doing that some time ago but I don't recall the results. Anyone know if they are archived?
