Range Report First Time at 1500y

[CBlack]

For someone shooting for the first time at 1500 yards, what would you expect them to do?

Previously my furthest shot was to 940 yards, first round hit (after hitting 5, 6, 7, 800 yards back to back.

First two shots were low, so I adjusted then did 10". 300 Norma.

I was pretty proud of myself.

Hi,

Off Topic, but where in Covington area are you finding 1500yds?
Gas Line off of Hwy 25?

Good job!! The first time I went past 1200 was out to 1685. Same as you, on steel in 3 rounds. It's very exciting isn't it??

Didn't think about that, but to clarify I was at a private ranch in S. Texas.

I wish I could shoot that far around Covington!

Thanks! Very exciting. I'll be at Triple C in Creeson, Tx in the near future so I'll try 2000.

You know, with a tiny bit of research, or maybe a bribe you can shot as far as you bullet will carry in many parts of the West. Might be worth a plane ticket and a hotel stay..

I travel to nearly every state with BLM land and established long ranges. Last year my schedule was pretty tight. Going forward I'm going to plan to bring gear with me to shoot. And a few ELR classes as well in NM.

Yep, Covington, la. Originally from Natchitoches, and I still head up there occasionally for work. You going to be around in a couple of weeks?
