Re: New world record at 1000 yards
Sweet. The best thing is he was humble about it and admits it was a perfect day for shooting it.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Re: New world record at 1000 yards
He done real good!! I was interested partially because my son-in-law has been doing long-distance shooting competitions for the last two years....it's his gun sport passion also.
For myself, after reading the set up (particularly the rifle specs), I didn't know any of the component names listed! Again realized that there sure is a lot of stuff out there for our different shooting sports.
I particularly like the fellow's "advice" in the last paragraph. What he said mirrors almost exactly comments I've seen by other shooting sports people on getting involved with a particular sport: that there are helpful & friendly people out there willing to guide a newbie to get started, and welcome him/her to the "games."
Good article, Bandit. Thanks for posting it.

I expect that that record will stand for quite a while. 0.1 MOA at 1000 yards is a stunning result.

Re: New world record at 1000 yards
per the link in post 1, the record was set at a range in my home state of NC .... the second picture shown at this link ===> http://hawksridgegunclub.com/photos.html , provides a pretty good idea of the distance .... remarkable, truly remarkable

Re: New world record at 1000 yards
no doubt about the first shot but after that, Badger's transition instantly to that of a rodeo bronc would most certainly complicate things ..BigAl52 wrote:Shoot Im bettin RR could do that good with his 1860 off of Badger.
