- Multiple targets.
- No laser rangefinders.
- No spotters (calling wind holds).
- Limited time constraints.
- Shifty winds.
- High-angle targets.
- Different shooting positions.
Or we could all just go shoot a side match at an NRL or PRS match. Haha!

Dang small bore shooters............ :chuckle:
I just want to show up with my 20" barreled 375 Ruger and show you guys how it's done lobbing 300gr Partitions at like 2650 fps. If that doesn't work I'll drag out the 338 SnipeTac pistol. :tup:
I'd actually like to see it go the other direction, sort of like hunter's BR matches. Have a minimum bore diameter and case capacity. Something like .30 minimum and 75gr case capacity or greater and no muzzle brakes.

Yep. There's plenty of 'em that own big thumpers and can get it done waaaay out past 1K.
Running my 6 Dasher that tips the scales at 24 lbs. certainly helps for settling the crosshairs down quickly, and watching trace and impact is awesome...and mandatory for competition. The thing doesn't recoil off target regardless of whatever hairbrained structure they make us shoot off. Whacking a target at 1K with the little 105's out of the Dasher is pretty easy but the little pills get pushed around pretty quickly in variable winds. Plus, barking off 12 rounds in rapid succession is fine in the Dasher, but isn't conducive for long barrel life with the canyon crossers.
If I had the choice and needed to make a first round impact at 1K, I'd grab my 300 RUM Sendero contoured backpackable hunting rig every single time. That beast is a death ray and those 210's scooting out at 3150 fps are absolute hammers!

Not to derail the thread, but how do you like the results of that GoPro Adapter? I've used every adapter kit PhoneSkope has ever made over the years (except for the GoPro) and always feel like my blood pressure skyrockets trying to get the damn things to get installed, stable, focused on an animal, and stay focused without a some weird vignetting.

im using nova grade, I removed the phone holder part and my GoPro fits right in the hole. So no lining up. Slip it in and link to gopro on my phone. It’s awesome! Shoot me a pm if you have any questionsWho needs brakes :dunno:

Could find a central location. I’ll be in Deep Creek range in Mt. next month and will be testing (3) rifles at 1k on paper cold bore. I have a real switch windy spot on Snoqualmie pass that I can shoot rocks at around 950 and 1200.

Only a 12# gun? I was thinking the 23# SnipeTac pistol.
With a little time to plan, I’ll see if I can convince former forum members Jay.sharkbait and Biggerhammer to make an appearance. That could make for a really interesting day!

It'd be nice if there was someplace centrally located that was easily accessible and safe. Say...somewhere around Ellensburg. I agree about the timing. It's getting to be pretty iffy with fire season coming up.Its A great Idea But I think its too Late for This year Lets Try for the weekend after Turkey Ends Next Year

H20 knows my awful lack of rifle skills and would probably agree I've likely got a better shot at hitting something at 200 with the bow than the gun. Needless to say if this pulls together it sounds like a good chance to improve a bit at longer range shooting.

I’m in next spring. Would be great to meet you guys and bust up some rocks. I suggest we pick a location where we can set up a camp for the weekend and do different types of shoots. Set up some hunting shot scenarios where the shooter has to improvise a shooting position, firing solution, do 10 burpees, then make a shot in 60 seconds. :chuckle:
Maybe up in the Table Mountain area?
:yeah: A drive up site where we can camp a bunch of people for a long weekend and have a long COF laid out with a safe backdrop, preferably where we can run some targets out on a four wheeler and service any that go down. I've got a bunch of AR500 plate of various sizes, t-posts, hangers, tank-traps, lots of different shooting height barriers and such. Probably best to pick a weekend that where there isn't going to be an NRL/PRS match...and we won't know that until the schedule comes out in January.

Thanks to Jasnt for the knock on the noggin to make me think about using the turrets, I now have a starting point for dialing my 1k hold on my turrets, should be very easy to get into the ballpark and adjust from there. I have never played with shooting at stuff past about 500 yards til yesterday. I think I am hooked and want to buy a nightforce scope and another rifle now loljust a word of caution on that plan. I've set up two BDX systems now for friends and the tracking on both scopes is as bad as I've seen. Once I got them zeroed they did hold zero though so that's a plus. High likelyhood of you losing your zero and not getting accurate come up if you attempt to get twisty with your scope. If it was me I'd just leave it set as is :twocents:

Thank you for that, I was kind of worried about it. I don't think I will be shooting at any deer past about 500 yards with it so for actual hunting I won't mess with it. When I finally sack up the courage to drop some coin on a true long range hunting rig, it will have a NF scope on it. I want to trust the scope.Thanks to Jasnt for the knock on the noggin to make me think about using the turrets, I now have a starting point for dialing my 1k hold on my turrets, should be very easy to get into the ballpark and adjust from there.

I've shot quite a few sig scopes and they just continue to miss the mark. I was pumped to get my hands on that BDX system but it left me seriously wanting. I get that they wanted to slip it in at a very competitive price point but they skimped where they shouldn't have (like erector system). It flat out works though. It hits where it is supposed to when that little dot pops up in the reticle.Thank you for that, I was kind of worried about it.
