How old when you first broke 1000 yds?

[sib1948]

66 in the desert a few weeks ago. 1275 yards at 14" steel plate. Awesome experience. 1 mile will be my next milestone!

I was 51, we were leap frogging IPSC's down a road, light drizzle, absolutely no wind, my 900 & 1k were 1st round hits, I'd shot to 800 before. By my hits at 9&1K, I could have hit a half moa size plate, will never forget it, but neither will my checkbook
I've never shot in air that dense since, rain yes, but hearing the bullet in flight all the way to the target was awesome. First taste of bullet trace on every shot also. Debunked theories on spin drift with 6.5 bullets, and corioli-anal effect that day also.
Within a year I'd made the journey to 2100 yards, have toned it down since and concentrate more on making every shot count, but that's a whole new chapter.

[onlyhedge]

Too old.

 

[cwinston]

[missed]

[Mtndog05]

34 years old. We'll see how long it takes to get to 2000Y? Maybe this summer?

I was probably 24yo when I set up and did a 10 round group at a 1000y with a Tikka model 55 in 308 win. Group was about 24". That's when I decided to build my 308 Baer.

 

[BlackFenix]

39 for me

 

[powercatmd]

42 for me. Hit 1400 with a 308. I understand now first hand how a 175gr 308 struggles past 1000.

 

[IanHusaberg]

wow!!!! it's all downhill from here.

 

[tennturk]

19 and then not again until 31

 

[ballisticdaddy]

49.....shot in my first f-class match and i have been hooked ever since!

 

[totenfleisch]

Lucky! I was 22 when I got over a km

 

[JW329]

I was 32 the first time I went past 1k, my son on the other hand is 7 and has been 1350 on a 10" gong. Lucky little kid! lol

 

[Blackdog6]

26 at a school. Had the best spotter I ever had that day. Definite bucket list moment. Spotter helped me have first three shots group 10". Perfect conditions, negligible winds.
