Let’s play Long-ish range shooting monthly Challenge

I had a friend tell me how his buddy shot his bed 4 times before realizing why he wasn't hitting his target. lol

That will leave a mark

I think a 257 wby shooting 100 ttsx at 3800fps would be a good gun for this or something shooting light and very quick bullets.
As I'm wobbling all over the place and moving back and forth past Center just waiting to bring the cross hair past Center the bullet would of got closer to Center quicker if this makes sense. Haha

It's not easy but some sure make it look easy!!

Yes they do! 20 years ago I was a lot better offhand!

great triggers and a weight forward feel will help a lot with this

I was thinking that my long barreled 50 cal Lyman Great Plains Percussion muzzleloader with open sites may balance better and be easier to shoot than a scoped modern hunting rifle. Will have to try that next.

All, Here is the link to the next couple of challenges. If you are limited on the distance just make do with what you have. Maybe make it a little harder by reducing your ability to stabilize or shoot it as is.

I can relate to that….my shot had a lot of luck involved.

I also cheated, by raising the rifle and calling off shots……about 50 times! My arm was so tired I thought that I might have to try again another day after the physical therapy! memtb

So I looked at the first page. Is it saying the target size at 100 is 7" for offhand and 5" for sitting? I'm not splitting hairs to MOA.
