If you thought that 600 yards was a long way, check out this picture of the 1,000 yard range at Capitan, NM This is what those targets look like through a 45x spotting scope. The bottom line: F-Class shooting is always a challenge and lots of fun.
1 When the Titanic struck the iceberg, six of its 16 watertight compartments were damaged. The ship started taking on water in the bow through openings about 20 feet below the water line.  As the liner nosed down, water flooded compartments one after another and the ship's stern began rising out of the water.
At 11.40 PM on April 14 th, Titanic had her encounter with an iceberg. Immediately after the collision, Wilde moved forward to inspect the forepeak and see the flooding for himself. He then came back to the bridge to make a report just before the carpenter arrived. These two reports seem to have convinced Smith that Titanic was sinking.
