Setting up a 1,000 yard range

[Tesoro]

Ever hear of the sun in your eyes.

Make an adjustable sun shade on your shooting table like the ones use on ranges. Better than crosswinds!

Or be smart and face it correctly.

I shoot at 1000 yards 3 times a week using the shot marker at a range my buddy built in an old floodway. For me the shot marker was a game changer

lucky dog! the 3x a week bit I mean!

Learn to use cross sticks. I shoot 800-1000 yds with a Sharps, sitting, off of cross sticks and they work quite well. If using a scope you will not get an eyebrow trim line.

Use the sling if you have one on it. How heavy is that rifle?

9 lb 3 oz. I seem to tip my head forward to far. I never practice prone I am sure that is the reason.

I normally do have shooting sticks. I was hunting out of a elevated box blind and left 5 minutes early to check out a field. There were hogs at 350 but I was on a road in the open so all I had to rest on was my binoculars prone.

Another thought- is your stock’s length of pull too short for prone?
