The dinner plate challenge

Not bad Mr Nolan, but I doubt you would have hit a Magpie.

Results from a few people myself included, plates 12 inches square distance 425 yards , to be fair there were the odd miss

It would have needed new underpants.

There was a plover, but 300m closer.

1 shot @ 449m, prone with a sling and my front hand resting on a pack - as I do hunting.
Haven't shot a deer past 25m with the Bondstrikes, but they look good so far.

now THATS D2 steel.....

Just watched this guy do 10 shots at different distances on a life size elk or mule deer target. It was quite a good watch to see even if it was just to see his 13 year old son out shoot him. I recommend watching all 10 videos as they are short around 5-6 minutes long.

Only the first shot in a cold barrel counts, deer tent to walk away and don’t always give you multiple opportunities.

Did it that day. Does it mean much? Probably not. I wouldn't have confidence to try shoot anything living at that range (even with the big 80s)

You are allowed a bad day now and again, but seriously @gimp thats bloody good shooting.

I went to the range today, 100m standing shot. I can confirm what I knew already that Its not ethical for me to shoot at a dear at 100m without a rest. No dinner plates were harmed.Attachment 263928

You'd be amazed at your improvement if you take a 22 and have a wee practise each range visit . . . Offhand is a very perishable skill
