    I have a 12 in gong so used that for the other ranges.
    200, hit 300, hit 400 miss, miss, hit. No more ammo.
    Even painted bright red that gong was hard to see at 400 and is way smaller than the front post, at 500 it will be damn near invisible. Some optics are gonna be needed. It was fun though.
    I might try it with something more pricey and scoped next time.
    This should explain the point of this exercise. A 4" group at 100m with open sights, unable to see the 400m target, but dead deer all the way to 300m
    @Ultimitsu stop fixating on 1/4 or MOA in general. You realize a 2MOA rifle will score 19 in this competition while a 1/4MOA rifle only gets 22?
