Last night my shooting buddy and I pushed out to 1,000 yards. Set up targets and shot at 450 to make sure we were still on from 2 weeks before. Pretty much have shot all prone as we moved out over the last few months. Last night we shot out of the bed of his truck because the grass on the field roads is so tall, that was pretty cool and a first for us. I shot about a 10-12 inch group and he shot an 8 at 1,000. It was pretty awesome.
We have been shooting at night, no mirage and no wind. About the calmest and best/easiest shooting conditions we could get.
We have a buddy who's been shooting a long time and was one of the early members on here, trying drag him out to come play and give us some schooling.
So whats next? Shooting in wind and mirage? Different positions? Unknown distances? Using the reticle to determine distance?
Definitly need to work on fundamentals and consistancy to tighten up my groups a little. Sometimes I can shoot 3 shots into one ragged hole at 100, then shoot a one inch group on the next target.
My first group at 1,000 caught the right edge of the cardboard. Adjusted .7 left and shot this group.
