Thread: Fun shoot tomorrow - rate yourself?

Well, the wind. We started with 9km/h at 90 degrees but while we were running it the wind went "a bit puffy" and then within 15 minutes settled again at 9 km/h at 45 degrees (I get this data from the airport met station, about 900M away.).

One of our very experienced shooters ( he's done a lot practical style stuff, and is currently night shooting) was within one click of getting the 100M MOA 5 shots in the aiming point challenges done, and there were another couple of nice groups. My 100M effort had a flier, possibly shooter induced, I was having issues holding nice position.

The 8 of us went back to our 500Y mound, which makes it 480M to the gongs. The deer was set up with a 150mm gong. No shared wind calls allowed. Our best shooter as per above went first, shooting his heavy 280 AI, ding went the gong. I went next with my 6mm CM, a hunting weight rifle, 18x scope. 3.4 mils elevation, wind, what you doing? . . . puffy that's what, but with plenty of mirage which at least allowed it to be seen. Given this was a "hunter challenge" I didn't piss about, took a hold, watched it maybe 20 seconds, allowed 0.7 mil for wind and made a hit.

And that was it, one of the other hunter class guys got a second round hit. We were missing two or three of our top Practical shooting guys, the hit rate would have been higher if they'd come along.

Sorry no photos but I'm not too keen on putting stuff like this in the public domain.
