Shane and myself drove out to Salt Lake City to meet the Desert Tactical guys and do some testing. I can't remember ever shooting in better conditions in my life. It was a warm and sunny 40 degrees with no wind at all. Can't talk about or show pictures of what we were testing but I did bring my 7 WSM with one of our 30P-1 cans on it to stretch a little between testing. I was able to score first round hits at 1585 and 1985 yards. It was pretty cool being able to see my own trace heading down range as soon as I broke the shot with my 3.2-17x USO. I've sent a lot of rounds down range but never in conditions like today.I've never had such an easy time hitting targets so far away, probably never will have it that easy again. I will be coming back and shooting at this spot again. Big thanks to the DT crew for taking us to such a great shooting spot and the experience. We'll be back for another round of testing soon

Glad it went well -- that rig is bad-ass, man. Thanks for letting me shoot it in Kansas.

Re: Best Shooting Conditions Ever in SLC today
I don't know the name of the place.It was about 40 minutes outside of SLC next to an acid plant close to the Morton salt place.It was a very good shooting spot. Rocks from 600 to about 2100 with very good backstop and a road to drive and place steel on. It would be a great hike and shoot place. It was cool and conditions like I've never had before. We always have wind here

Re: Best Shooting Conditions Ever in SLC today
Nice to hear Ray, glad you and TBAC are doing so well. Your 30p-1 can sure looks nice over at Jensens.
Take care,
DJ

I was at Pawnee the same day. High pressure, no wind, 4" new snow with fog but blue sky above. Really great conditions to shoot in.
