shots

OK, so I have been watching all the back and forth banter going on here lately over the "CB Deviation". I was asked to go out and shoot and record my findings..... easily done. This morning: 86 degrees 30.76 InHG 3-5 mph from the right 4700 ft ASL 39% humidity Sun, directly in my face and a...

First time trying my hand at precision shooting today. Although I was able to put together a few good groups, more times than not I completely blew the group on the 4th or 5th shot. I probably just need more practice but I'm trying to develop some loads, and this makes it hard to know a good...

There is a lot of info on the average distance of shots taken by law enforcement snipers. I was very surprised to see the average as short as 77 yards, but it does make sense knowing that they try and get as close as they can. At what distance are most military sniper shots taken? I've done...

I'm going to be shooting my new Rem 5R .308 using FGMM ammo. I'm a novice at long range shooting, and this rifle only has about 10 rounds through it. Although I cleaned between each of the first 10 shots in an effort to "break it in," after further consideration I'm not going to bother with...

Last year I started a shit storm by posting a picture of a dead cat. I killed that cat with an iron sight .22 Kimber CMP rifle offhand from 86 yards. I posted the hunting picture because I felt like it was a remarkable shot and a good clean kill on a predatory species. What happened was...

I have some fun stories of when I was a kid.I know...we were very naughty for shooting something we weren't gonna eat but I bet you did some things like that too. When out hunting with our pellet guns my friend Bobby Anderson shot a woodpecker while it was flying.The funny thing was the way...

Just curious to hear from some of you,how many shots you can fire before your accuracy starts to fade away.I am currently shooting a 7mmWSM with a Benchmark barrel,and it is a 1/4 moa the first 6-8 shots,then seems to be around 3/4 moa after that.I use Bore Tech Eliminator to clean the bore...

I took my 700P with AAC 762SD to the range today. I'd taken it once before and as I shot, I noticed quite a bit of mirage through the scope and towards the end of some strings of fire, some shots were WAY low. I blamed it mostly on myself, the weather was horridly cold and I got to a point where...

I bought a new Savage 10FP Today is the first day i have shot a centerfire in 23+ yrs and i need help and a lot of practice. The first thing i noticed is the garbage stock!! I can't get a good cheek weld, I am all over the place... This is from 25 yds sighting in scope...bottom left was...

Hello everyone, I recently found out that there are tacticle/sniper shoots at a nearby range. They hold them once a month. Needless to say, I am interested in getting involved in these shoots. Some of the targets may require me to use sitting or standing shots. I am very comfortable prone and...

Okay, I have to revisit the posting rules for Sniper's Hide specifically regarding 3 shot groups. I know early on I said we can do 3 shot groups if they are beyond 100 yards, but I am gonna call myself out on this and change the rules. From this day forward I am deleting any 3 shot groups...

Okay, I have read all the posts I really have cared to read regarding 100 yard groups, and practice when you don't access to longer ranges, and all that comes with rifles guaranteed to shoot sub half minute groups. And frankly we all should realize that 90% of the battle is the shooter and not...
