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

[dmwebb34]

About 9.5 miles I got to push the button does that count?

Ground to Air, Air to Ground or Ground to Ground?

I was Air to Ground push a button.

But my longest shots were...
500yd gong @ the range out of a Remmy 700 XCR (30-06)
100yd gong @ the range out of an HK 45C

1100 yards, a steel buffalo 2 out of 3 shots hit with a custom 30-378 Arch a 180 gr bullet at over 3340 fps...a muzzle brake I designed and made for it, otherwise 3 shots would be insanely painful!!

 

[Double Stack]

550 to 600 yards (I hear different things from different people) bowling pins all day every day with my DPMS TAC-20 chambered in .308

 

[philcoates]

I threw a tic-tac 75 feet and into someones mouth on a second story parking structure. It really creeped me out.

It's more important to know what you can do every time than to spend time gloating about what you did once.

[Neil]

If 105mm & 155mm don't count, then 300+ yards at a man sized silhouette target with a rifle.

 

[bogeycentral]

Sage rat at 125 yards with a .22 CB Short. Didn't hit it on first shot, but fortunately the critter was patient...

 

[jcathunter]

Not my shot but my wife shot this bull at 842yds last season. I did the math and she pulled the trigger.

A friend of mine with his bear that was shot at just over 650yds last season

Got this one at 719yds two years ago.

I shot a 12" plate at 1 mile with a .50 BMG. Took a few shots to get there but I finally got it. I am going to try for Furlongs 1.5 mile shot this summer.

 

[therifleman]

Sage rat at 550 yds with 308 savage 10fp 5.5-22 mil-dot nightforce 168 custom competition 44gr varget and a steady rest! Great fun and had three guys watching to verify the shot.

With the Remington 700, .222 & handloads, the starling was nailed at 160 yards. Checking him out, the bullet hit him one quarter inch higher than I thought it would. The 700 once shot a 5 shot group, 28/100ths of an inch at 100 yards. Once, a 4 shot group was 20/100ths of an inch at the 100 yard mark. The rifle (with 16 power scope) was as it came from it's box....even with the heavy 5 pound trigger.

From a sitting position the pigeon died at 126 yards with my Remington 581 .22 rifle. Lining up on the pigeon twice, the rifle seemed shaky. Trying a third time, the rifle scope showed less shake. For a fraction of a second, the image went steady & I nudged the trigger.

With my Weihrauch .177 air rifle, I was targeting shooting at 30 yards from a sitting position. Midway through a set of targets, a small fly landed on the target off to one side. Setting my scope sights on the fly, I carefully let a pellet go. After the shot, I saw no bug splat, so figgered I missed. After finishing off the rest of my target run, I went to check my targets. My paper targets were pretty good, but then I looked at the pellet hole in which I thought I'd missed the fly. From one foot away from the target, I squinted & finally noticed that their were six fly legs radiating exactly radially away from the pellet hole. The pellet had hit the fly dead center, only leaving the end halves of the fly legs on the target.

I think my greatest accomplishment, was hitting a tree on the other side of the river with a rock from my David & Goliath sling (not a slingshot). The distance across the river was calculated by two different methods of trigonometry & agreed within 2 yards. The distance was 345 yards or 1035 feet. With that sling I could skip rocks on the water.......at 230 yards distance. A sling is so powerful, it was no miracle that David killed Goliath with a sling. That's the easy part. Just hitting Goliath at all......now there is the difficult & miraculous part.

 

[kamshaft]

Haven't done a whole lot of long range shooting, but about the best I have done was 6/6 on a 5 gal. propane tank at 65yds with a 4" S&W M66, offhand

 

[waltermitty]

a bit over 600 yds with 50 BMG. getting pretty good hitting the area the size
of a pie plate, if the wind was right and I didn't allow the recoil to knock my
skinny buhine around.

When I was still in the Army,I shot 3" groupings at 850+yrds on a regular basis. When I was training with the M24 SWS I once nailed my mark at 1,200yrds in bad weather, my DI was quite pleased and needless to say so was I.

 

[strictlyRUM]

I did 2200 yards on a watermelon sized rock yesterday with the CheyTac. Took a few rounds to get on but we didnt have a rangefinder that would read that far either. 1453 is our normal set up. Ultramags of different flavors is the usual fodor. The Cheytac was a virgin yesterday. Now it will be the go to for my extreme long range needs. 12 inch steel almost too easy at 1453. Did I mention the wind? We were 5 minutes of wind. That works out to 17MPH full vallue! Cant wait to find a bear this weekend!

Oh yeah. Nice Pics Jason. Nice braggin board.

408 or 375?

 

[Ballistic]

Clipped a quarter at 50 yards with my Finnish M39 (Mosin Nagant) and cheap Bulgarian surplus ammo. Next time, i'm mounting the quarter on black paper; just can't see it against white paper.

 

[Buano]

440 yard standing dead-center head shot on a woodchuck with an Interarms Mark X .223. Prone varmint shots are limited to about 600 yards since that's the longest shot possible where I hunt. 12 gauge slug into a deer's heart at 385 yards. Arrow into a squirrel at 47 yards. Long shots take a lot of practice & calm winds.

I get pissed at hunters who take "Hail Mary" shots at game when they never practice beyond 100 yards — and they don't do much of that.

A better question would be, "What's the longest range you practice shooting?".

 

[coop44]

500 yds on 2 coyote shot. First one in the neck second one in the chest. Didn't plan it, the second one was a bonus.
