I got the first game as a counter-sniper/general-murderer, and it went well. Everything was sorted, or as sorted as it can be on a gun held by Teflon tape and prayers most profane, but I did have a problem setting my hop-up: It was too long of a distance to watch.

About 150 feet out, I would loss track of the BB in the best environment I could hope to have (steady lighting, not dappled; consistent, verdant background; no matter BB colour), but I know that it is making it well to 250 or 300 feet.

How does one normally go about setting the hop-up at those ranges?

I am not sure why people are assuming that it was mid-game, but let me settle the matter: I am not talking about adjusting during play; I am talking about when I prepare for an event.

As I said before, my problem is keeping track of the BB for the full flight, and I wonder what other people do to see the BB on the far half of the shot.

If I use a friend to shoot past, what information is he to be providing me? What is the procedure there?

Professor, that work it out after time.

I also do not want to be trying to shoot far out and not know what the path is. Seems mildly unpractical, perhaps, when I get to a field for a game and am setting up. Do you usually set the hop-up the day before then?

If only I had a private pond. That sounds like a good method.
