I shoot competition rifle, and rifles just aren't that accurate. You certainly CAN shoot out a fiber or utility line on the pole, from point blank, but it's not actually useful in diagnosing or correcting problems with the rifle. A good rifle will shoot 1" groups (`MOA) at 100 yards, and most lines on the pole are smaller, fiber being much smaller. There are rifles that exceed 1MOA, but most hunters quite frankly can't afford them, nor are they necessary for hunting.On Tue, 21 Sep 2010, Reese wrote: Several years ago I heard of a Swiss ISP having the same problem. They built their network by running fibre along the earth conductor of high voltage transmission lines (like Energis in the UK). I was told that it was common for hunters to verify the setting of their sights by shooting at the lines. Tony.
