what is the longest distance you have hit a target at?

[orduckhunter]

you'll probably maintain your accuracy longer if you throw full beer cans out and shoot them!

 

[markw76]

I can hit every can until about number 12 or so then it take 2 or 3 shots.

Mooahahahahaha! I've heard that "2 or 3 beers" story before but not 2 or 3 shots....

 

[blacktail hunter]

700 yards at a 30inch steel plate with my ruger m77 338 wm and a savage striker in 223

 

[Spray-n-pray]

500 yards. M16, USMC 1976-1982. Also we still qualified with the 45acp. Semper fi.

Give yourself some credit. If you shot at Edson range it is 500 meters. That adds 135 ft. or 45 yards. So really you did 545 yards.

 

[NWMoss]

Prarie dog @508 yds with 220 swift and 55 gr Sierra hp.

I've heard good things about the .220 swift... how do you like it?

Woke up one morning hearing my geese all in an uproar, looked out my bedroom window and saw a German shepherd had the gaggle cornered down by the woods in a draw, against a tight fence. Three ganders were trying to fend him off.... I grabbed my Ruger 10/22 Carbine with the newly mounted cheap 3x9 scope, flipped off the safety, put the crosshairs on the critter's shoulder, raised the gun up a few inches, and let fly... hit him first shot, range about 175 yards. He jumped up, howled, and started running, limping but moving pretty fast, across my range. I fired four more times, hitting him at least three more times. He turned and ran straight away from me, moving slower, up a low hill. One more shot, hit him, then quit because he was getting too close to the brow of the hill, and I couldn't shoot with no backstop. This from a modified offhand position, sitting on my bed in my skivvies! Sheriff came by a few hours later, wondering what the shooting was about... I told him, and he said "I told her that if your dog was after his geese, I wouldn't even come back to tell you about it". Gotta love Washington's stock laws...... the dog didn't make it, seems I'd placed about four hard hits.... Wished I'd had my .30-06 handy, but I didn't. I've always thought that range with a short barrelled .22 wasn't bad.... particularly given my shooting position. Hitting him on the run didn't make me very sad, either. Too bad that owner hadn't taken the time to train the critter, or keep him fenced.

200 yds. HK USP 45 2'x2' box.

I shot the 600 yard line at tri county for the first time today. I hit quite a few in the 9 and a few in the 10 ring. We were using the 300yard target at 600. The gun I was using is a 16" bull barrel AR shooting a 75 grain bullet. I had to dial in 19.25 moa of elevation.

 

[CaughtSteelin]

400yds with my .243 2/3 shots and some crappy scope (unsure of the brand, but it's for sure a POS). Right before that I hit 350yds for 3/3 shots. Both longest ever for me; at the gun range near La Grande. Now I want a gun that will do longer as I like rifle shooting now...

Ranges I've been to are limited to 200. I took a shot and hit a running Greater Kudu @ 275 meters in South africa. 7mm Rem Mag.

 

[rdb241]

Range KD-22 at Fort Lewis. 1,000 yards, paper target. iron sites using a M1A1 .308 with 42 clicks on the rear site. Shot the match three years in a row with the Washington Army National Gaurd. Took a third place the third year. With my deer rifle, Win model 70 short action .308 26" heavy barrel, I can hold a 4" group with 6 rounds at 200 yards.

That had to have been satisfying. But really, that thing is huge, how could you miss?

 

[BigBull 301]

11 yards on a black bear with my bow.
239 yards on a rock chuck, 223 Rem.
250 yards on a caribou, 7mm Rem Mag.

any chance they'll host another in western Oregon?

 

[dragonsden73]

Just a hair over 600 yards with my Weatherby 300. At elk camp aiming at a rock which was about a foot wide. First shot nicked the bottom edge. Second shot....dead rock.

 

[deadeye]

800 yrds at 10" billet Barret 50.....I know I know, that's an easy shot.

 

[therifleman]

My partner and I use the clay targets at 500, 600, 700, and 800 yards and shoot 308 with nightforce 5 1/2-22 mildot reticle scopes. I prefer my model 12 savage for the job but joe likes his remington 700 308. If the wind isnt blowing we are able to break them all day long with only a few misses. 41.3 gr IMR 4064 178 a max rem 91/2 rem brass seems to be the go to load in all out 308 rifles.
