Let’s play Long-ish range shooting monthly Challenge

[bsnyder]

Sorry Bsnyder, for the confusion if you read the original post and a few posts after that while we were getting the challenge sorted out.
This challenge is 1 shot cold bore no practise shots free standing 100 yards.
I can still enter you if you know which shot was first take that measurement
So far DDman is in first with 7/8" Measurement for his shot.
I'm sorry again for the confusion February will be more organized.

I won't be able to play again till you hit 400 yards. I did the 100 yards at the house and can't get much further.

Copy that. Will come up with a new one and the end of the month and will try to keep you in the game.

It's all good. It's all fun and if it gets more people shooting before season I'm happy. There are far too many people who don't shoot enough before they go hunt. Match season starts this weekend so I will have plenty of shooting to do

It's funny you say that. My daughter and I sat in the truck last Sunday afternoon and I shot a swamp donkey doe at 326yds propped between the mirror and the truck with 2 minutes left of legal shooting time on the last day of season. Ive never done that before, but when we left the house heading down to the property, I told her that this isn't a hunting adventure, it a killing mission. I love it when a plan comes together. Jerky and dog treats she made and we're thankful!

The mirrors make Wonderful rests & one can get braced right in ️

100 yards standing free hand 12 lb rifle not sighted in for a suppressor but I ran it any way knowing thins rifle is pretty consistent for suprressed to non. Looks like I'm the first one in. First shot was right then corrected as best I could and sent the next two, total distance to the first one is 1.86 right and .79 low next two are 1.56 low. Total group size outside to outside is 2.1695 on my calipers

12 pound rifle offhand?
Holy smokes, Brayden, I wasn't that brave. On your lead, maybe I'll break out the .338 and try it!

I did get my 7 RUM out to give it a shot. That's a lot tougher shot than a guy would think!

I'm pretty happy with my results but I'm gonna say that there is zero chance of a repeat. Even with wrapping my sling around my arm, it took several attempts at holding it steady before I actually pulled the trigger- and at the shot I wasn't entirely sure I was even on paper.

Anyway, I'd call mine 15/16"

That's some good shooting
DDMan has you beat so far but not by much.
You guys make me look like horrible shot

Sounds like a good idea. We have a PRS Range so can shoot off of PRS stations. Unfortunately it's cold now and may be going in for spinal cord surgery again. Just had the MRI done yesterday and need some more xrays done in a few days.

I gave up on ever getting my neck fixed. No hope for me, but I wish you the best!

I understand not everyone has a range in the back yard , but for me i would take a challenge once a wk rather than 4 wks apart .
im also retired so its easy for me

Like I said, in my case it was 100% luck because there was NO way to keep the rifle steady!

When I did mine I just shoveled the driveway about a half and hour before and I was shaking like a crackhead when I held the gun up.
Oh well I will do better on the next one.

Wondering what the next one will be so a guy can practice?
200 yards off a fence post or gate is my suggestion.

Yes I was thinking 200 on fence post shooting sticks or gate or open truck door. A test with single point of contact
Then maybe the next one will be a little more difficult further out.
