Hi JD
I was shooting on the Same target as you and got the same thing, velocity at 600 was higher than 500. I guessed it was due to shooting across targets but all velocities at 300 500 and 600 were different from prediction on Shooter App yet trajectory was spot On. So agrain of Salt is needed...

Te Puke is the most interesting formal range I've shot on- The "mounds" are more" firing points'' and located in saddles and on top of high points- shooting acrOss sloping faces and large hidden gullies. Very nice. Exellent site for the Clubhouse too. Special thanks to the owner for use of the farm land and There was no stock to be seen so that mosthave been a bit of work for them.

I'd recommend all hunters to go there when the hold the next day. You just need your gun Zeroed for IOOM (or 200) and people will tell you how much to come up ft 300500 and 600 and you will be on target. Yov Can see exactly where eachShot falIs as you shoot so can adjust and determine your elevation well by the time you've put 7 shots down.
