Backward calculations

Hello,
I’m sure there’s a way to do it, but I haven’t been able to figure it out, is there a way to calculate muzzle velocity from my 600 yard speed? Haven’t shot in a while and the first time back the club I shoot with has new electronic targets, so I shot a 199-6x with my 6mmBR, not really holding for the wind at all (I’ll work on that again, but after so long away, I figured I’d just see how it goes). Anyway, the target told me my average velocity was 1966fps 11.7sd.
Thanks,
Ken
 
Using a ballistics program, enter your environmental variables, and play with the muzzle velocity until you get the correct 600 yard velocity.

Cool! I didn't know they could tell you that information. Do you know what kind of electronic targets your club uses?
