My wife bought me a Long range course for my birthday in March and yesterday was the class with Adam at North East Texas Tactical in Terrell, TX. I really never shot passed 500yds before, so I was pretty excited. I was also nervous because I did not know how my rifle, reloads and myself would perform passed 500yds.
We had class in the morning going over the basic concepts for shooting at LR and how to use the Applied Ballistics App. Around lunch we broke out our rifles, to go over them and our setup.
We began shooting at 100 to make sure our rifles were zeroed. We then jumped to 300 and started making our way down range out to 1500yds in 100yd increments. I had 1st round hits to 900. All center mass. I missed the 1000yd target but made the adjustment for another center mass hit on the second round. 1100-1400 were first round hits. 1500 I missed left, made the adjustment and hit it on the second round.
Then it was on to the mile target. The app called for 67.5 moa of elevation and 4.5 moa of windage. I ran out of elevation on my turret. It only went to 50moa, so I made up the difference by using my reticle. It was a little difficult for me, since I had to aim in the blank quadrant of the reticle. It took my 3 tries before I connected on the 4th. Needless to say I was pretty stoked! Felt good knowing that my equipment, reloads and myself were capable of accomplishing this. Sorry for the long post, but I am still excited about it.

Good for you glad you made it

What size targets?

The mile target was 3x3 moa that reduced to a 2x2 and a 1x1 moa painted inside. I hit the 2moa where the red dot is.

Congratulations !!!

Congratulations! Living in Northwest Alabama the only place you can shoot a mile is on interstate 22 and I got a feeling they would frown on that I was able to drive a couple of hours and shoot 2 groups back to back @ 1000yds that were 1/2" moa with factory ammo from a 6.5 Creedmoor. May never get the opportunity for a mile but Congratulations to you and all who can!

Well done! Sounds like a day well-spent and a great class. Wish I had a range nearby that I could stretch that far. 1350m w/.308 is my personal longest-best.

I do realize that I am female as well as Blonde, however when did 1500 yards become a mile? When I went to school a mile was 5,280 feet or 1760 yards? Last time I checked the bureau of standards a mile is still 5280 feet.
Please don't get me wrong, that is some fantastic shooting just desiring some clarification on the distance.

Teri: in the paragraph after describing the 1500 yd hit, he said "Then it was on to the 1 mile target."
I guess you missed that.
