Deep in the heart of....

I’m impressed, the guy from Ohio (I think) got 4 with peep sights. Frick’n amazing.

I saw these before I knew it was on. Just watched it . Lots of fun. One of the best father son days, ever.

Yes, that’s southeast of San Antonio’s outer beltway.

That guy shot the $100 mulligan too. I haven’t seen yet whether mulligans aired, but he’s an absolutely swell guy. He had rounds left at 2 minutes, each time, but maybe only one or two on the second. I talked to him about whether he’s coming back. Says it’s probably too far. phhheeeeew. .

I'm kinda surprised no F-Class guys have shown up, with F-Class rigs.

Great job.. That was very fun to watch. Usually the wind is not bad in that area. I used to be long to a club in that area (Pleasanton).

The group was so large that it was halved and two episodes were made today. The one in my group had an Ohio gentleman that shoots nearby Camp Perry with a very serious and high end appearing micro-adjustable fitted chassis target rifle. I know that the best sets are in the 4 figure range, and his looked to be at a level like the best sights I’ve seen, quite possibly always on that rifle. Good videos lay in store.

Great job Dad! Looked like a lot of fun.

There’s an iron sight SKS on the way in the one to come. That’s all I can say about that .

Anyone else worried about the two guys shooting the CMP AR getting scope rash on their forehead while looking through the iron sights? I've also noticed about half the people over the last couple of episodes aren't wearing glasses? There's a vocal contingent at my club refusing to wear glasses but it always surprises me for some reason.

Would be awesome to see a repeat on a less windy day with the iron sights. Really impressive and fun to watch

Makes me want to TRY my .223 Savage Model 12 LRPV on a 2" gong at 500 at our club. That is one tiny target at 500 yards!

@davidjoe I was so damn disappointed sitting here watching it that you didn’t show up with a .300WM in a palma gun I almost cried.

I'm really enjoying this series... but man... the amount of feeding issues!

 

[Will Henry]

I think I'd like to make up a set of targets but scaled to 500m (our range is a metallic silhouette range, with the rams at 500m). That 2" (2.2 for 500m) target would be tough. Most of those guys have more money into their scopes and mounts than I have in my whole outfit!
The fast shooters can always slow down if they like. The time acts as a tie breaker anyway. WH

Why did the open sights guy think it was a good idea to shoot his rifle free hand?

Most people dont have an opportunity to shoot "blind" like that at 500 yards. They play video games or hear stories and think it's easy.

I see the same thing at our private range. Guys with 338 improved lapua mags blowing ear drums at 100 yards. Try and get them out to 500? Not a chance, because they know I'd embarrass them with a 223.

I can’t fathom it. I don’t shoot anything anymore that’s known to feed well, and there’s more failures in one of these videos than I’ve had in years.

I’d like to go down there sometime. Looks fun.

the amount of feeding issues!

The constant feeding issues were painful to watch. That's probably a problem exacerbated by DIY builds.
