I mean the line of cadets.

I think that would be the noisiest place in the world myself...

I know the angle does not give a true perspective but I reckon the instructors would be getting a good dose of muzzle blast from the rifles in shotgunning with trap mainly elbows up, shooting skeet was not so much as it is a tad faster and tower well you just waited for the thrower noise and looked skyward as you walked down the line too ungainly to walk with a chicken wing! The hardest ones I tried to hit were the sparrows which were half the size of a standard clay and boy could they leave you behind especially if your up around the 20 yard line........Pull....... What the! where did it go.........

Yup, specially with the US rifles, that position worked marvelously.
