I thought we might bring some faces to the names and put up a friendly challenge for everyone.
1000 yards + a one gallon milk jug = you do the math!
Since what we do takes so much time, consideration, practice and money... And is honestly extremely difficult, I decided to challenge everybody to a little contest. Who can hit a milk jug at 1000? Killing an animal at long ranges necessitates us to being able to do exactly that.
The winner doesn't really get anything but pride, so the rules would be the following: shooter must be 1000 +/- 25 yards, the container can only be a 1 gallon milk jug, and unlimited shots allowed but you lose points for each shot.
Each shooter starts with 1000 points, each miss is a 50 point deduction. Time is a deduction, so if it takes you 1:30 to set up and take your shot, you deduct 90 points. Wind is an ADDITION to your point value in mph. 20mph wind is +20 to your score.
I ask that this be your first shot of the day, no doping up on a target, then popping the shot. Keep this as true to a hunting scenario as possible.
If we get a lot of responses, next time we can see about getting some prizes.
Post a kill shot of you, your jug, and your rig along with your score.
HERE WE GO!!!
