Eric Cortina's 500 yard BlackJack Challenge

[Bat Rastard]

Has anyone else watched these on YouTube? So far there are 3 episodes. It looks like a mighty fun game.
For the 3rd episode, the format was changed. I think the change was a good one.

I fully realize this post would be better with a link. I am not sure how to do that on my phone. I am hoping a more tech savvy person will post a link.

Yep, I’m trying to figure out if the old Redfield target iron sights qualify for the $5,000 challenge, or if it has to be the grade of open iron sights of my Remington 870 12 gauge.

I enjoyed watching the videos.

I am trying to find where to source square targets. I would like to try the game. I think we would start at 100 and work our way back.

I Iike how the guy who's never shot beyond 200 yards cleaned house. Looks fun.

Looks like a lot of fun - really like the practical aspect, shooting prone off a bipod.

I've enjoyed watching them. The new guy was impressive.

 

[Bill Norris]

Looks like a fun thing to do no doubt

2” square at 500 yards with open sights doesn’t yield much of a sight picture. That’s a safe bet in my world. I’d like too see someone do it also.

@Bill Norris & @Downeast we need to try this.

 

[Bill Norris]

I was thinking so too.

weld shop or a steel supply house might be a place to find pieces of steel.

I just watched all three (3) of them. Very interesting concept indeed. The thing that I noticed on a large percentage of the shooters though were the feed issues. It seems like about 50% of them at one point or another had feeding issues. The one (1) guy had ejection issues that were the cause, but what is the story on the others? Just seems like an awful lot of issues for guns that are so meticulously put together and maintained.

I don't own a firearm like any of those in the videos. I'm primarily bolt action hunting rifles, so this is interesting to me. Curious to see what you all thought about that?

Sure looks like a lot of fun

Do you have to use a suppressor in all of these type of events?

I don't think it is a requirement.

Geez that’s some good shooting!! Two inch target at 500 yards is amazing to me, I was just trying like heck to hit a one inch target at 300 meters at the tack driver.

The 12 shot limit doesn't seem to be fair to the fast shooters.
