When I was younger I have 20/15 vision in both eyes. A pesticide incident degraded that to 20/20 and it remains there today. I will admit that I still notice the difference after almost 15 years.

The objects that I have seen exit a weapon were at around 300 fps tops. It never even dawned on me to actually try to watch the bullet, especially at 900+ fps.

I'll try it next time I am at the range, no reason to watch the 10-ring, that is where the hole ends up anyway!!!

I forgot to mention they weren't my bullets. It was always someone else shooting.

Since I use sights, I'm in recoil while the bullets in flight. I noticed Bryce shot from the hip so he probably tracked his rounds by watching them to the target. That's entirely possible especially if the light is behind you with no wind or mirage.

Okay! Try to pick it up about 8 or 10 yards in front of the muzzle. That's where I always seemed to spot mine. And it always worked best for me on a bright sunny day with the sun over my left shoulder (I shoot left-handed) around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, i.e., with the sun about 30 degrees above the horizon. Once a buddy of mine was shooting my .45 and I caught a fleeting glimpse of the bullet a couple of feet in front of the muzzle, the only time I ever saw a bullet when I wasn't the one doing the shooting.
