I hauled my dad along this weekend to go shoot some rifles out past 1000 yards. He had some pretty good success with it. His first time past 1000 yards and probably his 3rd time past 500. I got to see a couple of my good buddies that I like to shoot with as well. The wind was swirling and gusting 12-16 mph. Just thought I would share with the group. This is the first group he shot at 1776 yards.

Good on you man. Take your Dad out every chance you get. And in-between that time, MAKE MORE TIME.
I lost my Dad just before this LR stuff got popular.
I'd give anything to have him see how much fun this stuff is.

Cherish every moment you have with him and tell your Dad the group looks great.

Enjoy the time with him! The memories will be with you for the rest of your life. I'd give anything to shoot and fish with my father again.

Just to satisfy my curiosity if you don’t mind. How big is that target? Very cool indeed though

A few more pics from the firing line on the upper range. Thanks for the kind words, my dad turns 70 this year and I can’t believe how the time is flying by.

It’s 4’x8’ if I remember right. There are some big ones out on the long range for testing and development.
