I agree with the smartlink idea, but the laser sight simply wouldn't
account for bullet drop. And since we are dealing with long range, bullet
drop is important. (you would be surprised how much a bullet actually does
drop.)

On a further note, I would kinda like to see target #'s go up by ones
beyond short range under vision mag anyways, just to display _some_ sort of
modifier. And if you don't want to alter the rules, (I may not bother myself
merely for simplicity), then just add target mods for circumstances such as
gusting wind. At short range it isn't a problem, but at long range...
