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

[sheepdip]

400-500 yards all the time, rock chucks, 6mm rem, central ore

 

[TonyBen]

600yds with 2 M14 clones at TCGC for their weekly 600yd shoots. Iron sights only.

Eastern oregon, 1600 yds, 4 out of 4 on 12x12 in .50" steel plate. .338 Lapua Mag, 4-16x50 Scmidt scope, McMillan stock from sand bag rest. That was the 4th time I did it that week. Last day got a bit gusty as the weather came in, still made 2 out of 4.

that fifty is a nasty looking setup, elk in trouble at a mile

When it comes to actual big game hunting, mine was on the last day, last hour of Elk season a few seasons ago,, 547yds one shot, one kill. Taken with a .30-06 while flying a 165 gr. Fortunately for me the shot was down hill at approx. 40 degrees. The Elk walked about six yards after the shot and went down for keeps. The fun part was getting the old bull out of the hole and was plenty of work for one old man and his twelve year old son.

When I first joined the Marines a very loooong time ago, I hit an enemy combatant with my spear (I told you that it was a long time ago) at a range of about 40 yards. It was not possible to measure the distance because of a dinosaur that was in the area.

I hit a "dog" target 10 times in a row at 500 yards with an M-16A2 on a sunny day at camp Pendelton once.

 

[oldcorpgunny]

When I went to Edson Range to learn preliminary marksmanship, we used M-14s and the maximum range for "bullseye" targets was 500 meters. I had a preliminary marksmanship instructor fire 10 rounds, off hand, using my rifle and hit the bull all ten times! That really inspired me.

 

[Dell_dude]

Just over 3000M.

Target: Pickup truck.

Weapon: TOW II

 

[Key-Hay]

600 yards open sight with my Bushmaster DCM. Hit the 10 ring a few times at 800 agg Highpower match, Tri-county Gun Club

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

You mean with your cold bore shot at an unknown distance that you milled the target with your scope at?

850yards Haven't tried anything further.


oh, and that was across a valley with 3 wind corrections and a final of +.5R adjustment.

Shooting on a range with flags is just yanking the trigger in my book. Ranging distance and calling wind with mirage only is shooting.

 

[Bam]

4'x2' steel plate @ 1000 yards with a Barrett M99

still was a challenge

 

[jazz hand stumps]

smacked 'that damn dog that craps on everyones lawn' on the *** at 35 yards with a rock about the size of a big gumball.... just as he was starting to pinch one off on my lawn that had to be mowed that day.

was so pissed, i just saw, hucked rock and then laughed out loud.

damn that was satisfying. still felt bad for the dog.

 

[wired]

Shot a crow off the top of a 200 foot high Douglas Fir with a 357 mag snub nose. Felt pretty good about that shot.

 

[coop44]

look up on a clear night and you can see all the dings I put in the moon, I even did 'em while drunk!!!

 

[gehrheart]

Hit a floating chunck of Ice in the Knick arm of Cook inlet at over 1500m with a 50bmg loaded with tracer rounds under star light. Really cool how it lights up the ice!!

 

[sandman1212]

at a distance of 10' I hit a fly with a rubberband gun in my garage one time

but seriuosly, I hit military popups out to 300 on a regular basis...

Ah yes, those hollow-point rubber bands come in handy...

Seriously, after watchin' Sandman at the range yesterday, I have zero doubt he could do that offhand with his non-dominant eye shooting an LCP
