Shot 1000 yards for the first time today

[BenPerfected]

I chased a loose front sight in a High Power match once. Finally I could hear my former coach say If you have a large, round group, knowing you had some called good shots, check for a loose sight."

Congratulations, for me shooting at 1000 yds remains a goal.

I don’t know why it does that or how to fix it. I am doing this all from my phone. I hit upload a file and choose the photo and when it shows up it’s either sideways or upside down.

It’s your phone, likely as not an Apple. Way to fix it is to e-mail yourself the photo, then save that photo to your phone, post that one instead of the original. PITA but only ‘cure’ I know for a stupid disease....

Good shooting, now put the sling on!

Whittington’s my favorite range! You can be shooting in calm, sunny conditions while the targets are nearly invisible in a torrential downpour, target pullers getting hosed!

(Or vice versa more’n likely!)

Been there twice, 11 years apart. Hope I get to shoot there again in this life.

Shootin’ 1,000 yards is fun, ain’it!!

It’s a iPhone 11, but I can try that.

I thought at 1000 yards from you to the target anything west of the mississippi isnt the weather supposed to be different that far apart?
great pictures!

be vigilant about that 1000y berm. I've had turkeys, deer, and even a black bear walk across the line. (in the middle of a match no less) the wildlife could care less about gunfire.

Sounds like my local range, mule deer all the time. I nearly shot one at 300 once, she walked right in front of my target just after I pulled the trigger.

Last night at league the gophers were running all over the berms, rule is you have to eat what you shoot so there were no takers.
