I have reached a point where I can't really progress in my shooting skills without help from someone MUCH better than me. I can hold sub moa all day long with all my rifles at 100. If it ain't windy I can make first round hits at 1,100. My longest cold bore hit is 450 on a prairie dog, and longest second or 3rd round is 630 yards on a PD.
I need help with wind reading and someone to examine my fundamental gun handling. I HATE shooting prone, but I feel I need to develope that skill. Dragging my bench ain't always an option on the dog town.
My overall goal is to extend first round hit on PD distance, but ELR or other disciplines are a fun way to achieve that.
My current goal is the milk jug challenge at 1 mile. I have a spot too, but the gong is I think 36" round. Keep forgetting to measure it. Its a little small at a mile! I tried a mile this year alone. I have to shoot prone from that spot. The hill the target is on is all rock. I never could pick up a signature from the little 6 creed impact. I need a spotter! That target from 1100 is too easy.
I'm out in Indian Springs and shoot public land. I'm interested in varmint silhouette in Boulder City but that is really far to pay for a range membership.
Could barely get the drag bag onto my back to try a mile. My 6 creed might be like 30lbs plus all my other gear.
Sent 20 at a mile. Nothing but dust in my face from the brake. Think im close, but no spotter and 6 creed impacting on solid rock. I only see dust about half the time at 1100.
I usually shoot from a stable table, but I shot off this wall sitting in the small folding chair after a mile that day. First round hit, not positive but 99% sure it was dead center. The target center has a smaller gong that sounds different.
17 of 20 on target the first time I tried 1100. Shooting Hornady 108 eldm match ammo. Now that I reload I cut the ES in half with the once fired brass and same bullet. Group size is similar, but way better ES. 20 round group goes into .6 at 100 from the stable table with bipod. I estimate the unstable table introduces .25 moa of error....some stupid tweaker pulled out the solid steal bench by my house and sold it for scrap, grrrrrrrrr.
If you don't think you can hit first round at a mile on a calm day or have won at least local matches for shorter disciplines, I am not interested. I have plenty of mediocre shooting buddies...
