I have a switchback on an atv trail I hunt from every year. This year was my longest kill on an elk at 1222 yards from the trail at the right of my hat in the background. My grandson who is West Elk Precision built the rifle, 300 Norma Improved. He's christened this one the unicorn bull.View attachment 616568

Your grandson built two fine shooting rifles for my wife this year.

Fantastic shot. I'm sure you put in some trigger time preparing for the confidence, ability, and mental conditioning you've achieved. Now you can relax while allowing those tenderloins to melt in your mouth!

What was the time of flight for us commoners??

Yeah,would be nice to see the tool that did the job.

That is an incredible shot. Congratulations

Looks like diagonally down/cross the canyon. Would love to hear about your shot set-up and equipment and how you determined wind and to what value and how much you had to hold for wind?

Thanks!
