What is the longest shot you have made on a live target

[Lee Goodwin]

175 yards.? Buck running right to left and away. Lobbed it about 7 feet out front. Fired, prayed, heard the thump a split second later. Then finally found him and he was hit in the large vessels in front of his back haunches. Gut cavity full of blood, no intestines nicked. Fat body , little head...named him zeek. Sage fed deer are yummy.

Coyote, 825yds 7MM STW. Over in the WA PotHoles region from the top of a Mesa, Yot was
searching the perimeter of lake. Hit him broad-side.

 

[Shawn Carlock]

Alaskan Moose, 1552 yards, 338 Terminator - LRKM rifle (of course), 300 gr. Berger EH, VV N570, 3-3.5 mph full crosswind. All that being said the vast majority of my long roange kills have been under 1000. A ton of them in the 600-900 range.

740 yards. Wounded pronghorn (by someone else, I had a tag too) in New Mexico, headed off the property. From a bipod, steep downhill. Anchored him on the spot. Very gratifying. I can think of four other big game critters between 500 and 600. A rockchuck at 750, if that counts.

The most amazing one happened when I was 17. I shot a rockchuck at over 100 yards, with a .22 pistol, single hand. Surprised all involved.

550 yds on Bull Elk in NM with Fierce custom 7mm-08 standing off the sticks. DRT. Not all that impressive in this crowd!

 

[crazymonkey]

Javalina with a 300wm pushing a 150gr xp3 . Up hill at just under 450yds . Clean miss! The follow up was at under 10 feet and required no field dressing .Bullet entered front shoulder and exited off side rear . Blew out just about everything inside only one small cut to finish field dressing.

Empty gun, unlit cigarette. Hollywood is great.

1017 on a Prairie Dog back in 1990 on the Rosebud in South Dakota shooting my buddies custom 7STW on a rare nearly windless evening. My first real exposure to true long range shooting. I've made longer shots since but that is THE SHOT that got me hooked on long range. I don't recall what range finder he was using(either a 600 or 800 yard model), but we would walk out about half way and range back to the trucks and then out to where the PDs were to establish a baseline range for doing ballistic calculations. We are so spoiled now with all the tech available to shooters.

48 years ago, my personal best longest hit on game was 347 yds with open sights. One shot-one kill.
