Thread: J M Wilkinson Shoots

We put some up at different distances to see how far we could realistically kill a deer (in ideal conditions).
This is a couple of different shooters at 350m using a bipod or improvised rests (stacked up bumbags).
The shots have each been patched out with white dots.

Greetings Bagheera,
We ran a shoot years back, before the days when anyone dialed up. This was on the old Roy's Hill range. Using the deer target we started at 300 yards with 4 shots prone with a day pack rest, walked up to 200 yards for 4 shots sitting and then to 100 yards for 4 shots standing. Roy's hill had rising target frames and a proper markers gallery so the marking was done while the shooters were walking to the next position. It was a pretty steep learning curve for some. The 5 scoring ring was 183mm for yard ranges and the Wilkinson was shot at 100 and 200 metres (or yards with reduced rings) in those days.
Regards Grandpamac.
