Show some targets shot

[ENCORE50A]

Thanks for the additional sub-forum.

Although I'm not a 1,000yd shooter, yet, or have I attemped to shoot that distance, I have been shooting extended ranges.

Rifle: Ultimate Firearms BP Xpress
Load: 3 - Triple Seven MAGNUM pellets
Bullet: 300gr Whitetail Medicine BC .240
Velocity: 2,300fps

My very FIRST EVER attempt at shooing to 400yds:



After removing the XMark Pro trigger from the rifle, which I despised, and replaced it with a Timney, here's another attempt at 400yds.




I was attempting to shoot a trial bullet one day at 300yds, doing my best to get them to group to my satisfaction. No matter what I tried, the bullet wouldn't group. I had made adjustments to my scope when shooting the trial bullets, which of course wouldn't help anyway. I decided the trial bullets were not going to work as I wanted, so I shot 4 additional rounds of the Whitetail Medicine bullets. Its quite evident the WM bullets shoot the best with this load and rifle.

Encore50a, no doubt you gun likes those WM.
I don't have any actual target like yours past 200. I will try to get some at 300 & 600 this year, my local range has nothing in between.
Friendship metal targets are silhouettes and mini-creedmoor 200-500 and get painted over each relay. There is a 300 yard paper match part of the LR agg, but that's all with open sights. I'll try to get a photo of one.

At Oak Ridge, TN we shoot traditional LRML each year like the one's I've posted on this LR site.
Here are a few photos of the range. All targets are standard HP targets, except the 10 anniversary match I held where we shot the Creedmoor target and scoring - NO rifle support at all - not even a sling..
Standard match is 10 shots for score at each distance. I'll post the record scores tomorrow, when I locate them. I think it's 100 +x's at 200 & 300, 96'ish at 600, 91+x's at 1000. If I can post the scores of last years match I will.

Creedmoor match held in 2008. Guys who helped me clean up, I asked for a photo to get a perspective of the target. We cut a 3' square black center (600 repair center) 6'x6' white and additional 2' wings. Scored 3 black, 2 white, 1 wing.

That's a LONG ways :wink:

I'll most likely never get involved in that type shooting, but I'd sure like to watch it.

Brings back memories. I grew up in Oak Ridge and as a teenager we would work the matches and pull targets at the far end of the range. Spent many a Saturday and Sunday pulling targets for the matches.

Here is a 300 meter target from 2008. 13 shots in 45 minutes, no sighters, score the best 10.
Shooting postion prone w/sling or wrist rest or x-sticks.
We never knew why the organization chose a 30-36" diameter bull or target, but many think it's too big for our apertures. 3"-10 ring and 1/2MOA rings I believe.
