You have got to have patience when dealing with Max. He doens't get online all that often anymore. Also, he is known to be one of the more experienced shooters around here, and I don't think I have ever seen him troll. He is a long timer here, and I don't think anyone will appreciate you calling him a troll.

Being a veteran of 1000 yard shooting in competition, a 1000 yard target is, I believe, 8'X8'. There is a ten inch X ring and the decending rings are in three inch graduations. Just hitting the paper is an accomplishment for novices, but, if after the next three matches, you don't start hitting the ten ring some of the time, then you are still pegged a novice. Not an expert, mind you, but I have shot well over 100, thousand yard matches, both with iron sights and scopes. My personal best score ever was 196 14X. How many of us here has actually shot a metered 1000 yards and not just a percieved distance? Better still, how many have shot a registered 1000 yard match? What is the wind value of a 10 MPH cross wind at 1000 yards? What wind indicators do YOU use when shooting for score? I don't want to complicate things, but, these things are learned on the range and burnt into your memory. If you know, you know, if you don't, it's no disgrace because, not everyone has access to 1000 yards to shoot, and of those that do, lots fewer than a minority have ever bothered to make the treck. Been there, seen that, done that, and have the T-shirt, several times over, up to and including the Nationals at Camp Perry Ohio.................Kingpin

a horse who produces a large pile of horse shit sometimes swells up with pride at his accomplishment, and looking back says to himself '' now THAT IS SOMETHING.", and imagines that others who see it are likewise impressed by the implications of such a thing. so along comes a worn out old nag who has to step right over that pile to get where he is headed. the first horse, with fatherly pride asks, 'well what do you think oh THEM apples?' the second horse , having been a producer himself in his better years and so well familiar with the item, simply says,'looks like pure horse shit to me.' one horse to another of course. i appreciate a good load now and again. normal sized max |

so far, so good.

I guess the question should have been What part of my post do you consider horse shit? Believe me there was no pride involved in that shoot, I was using a stock Savage 110 and finished dead last to much betterweapons and probably shooters ( that was my first shoot and I was out classed at the start) As far as my shoot small miss small my normal target is a 5 meter air pistol target that I put up a the 180 yd stop I prefer small targets. If this is not your thing ok. It also was intended as a joke.

big john, to be specific, the part about a 30 inch square target at 1000 yds being too big for you. nice recovery tho. no worries re me not recognizing a good joke on the internet. my sense of humor works about like thr rest of me. i am safer lumping most of it under the horse shit category. odds are in my favor. no need to apologize for admitting to shooting a savage. i have a fishing friend who votes straight democrat. we all have our dark side. i'll poltely stand by my original call. |

so far, so good.

I figured the 30 in target was the issue, The target in my avatar is one I shot at 100yds it is a 10 meter air pistol target I use that target at 650yds with my smallest group at 4.237 in. not great mind you but for a stock Savage and old eyes not bad. As far as the Savage goes, I will put it up against any stock rifle that is 15 yrs old, I have taken woodchucks with it at a measured distance of 450yds at a place called Bradley Farms th owner was so amazed at the shot he had one of his workers measure it with a 200 ft tape and one was a head shot clean thru both ears off my fist prone. As it is impossible for me to prove other than an eye witness, all I can say is I have no reason to bullshit you or horse shit you, your choice.

Well here I am again, it appears I haven't posted in some time and, I thought what the heck start here. I haven't shot in a place that has a 1000 yd range yet. This pasted year or so my old savage under went a transformation it is now a .308 with a Sharp Shooters Supply 27 inch heavey barrel and one of their recoil lugs, it is sitting in a Choate Ultimate Sniper stock it is kind of fun to shoot. The only issue I have with it is the weight, it weighs in at 17 lbs with the bypod and was quite a hand full to carry through the woods hunting last season.

I've got a 416 w/heavy barrel in the Choate Super sniper stock. Yep heavy to hunt with. I carried it on an open country Alaska moose hunt. Weight about 18# but it shoots well enough that I did shoot a moose at 225 yards with it off hand while standing in 12 inch deep water/perma frost on a steep slope. Love those stock (got 3 of them). Friend ask if I'm hunting an "ugly gun" again. They don't even look at the action or caliber, just it is one of Bear's ugly guns again. LOL Nice to see you posting again. BEAR |

Unfortunately things haven't worked out so well this year, so to date have only made it to 2 shoots that have 1000 yd targets. I do the 1000 yd thing with my C Sharps 1875 chambered in 45-70 and using bp charges and lead bullets |

The most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.

Yes its a bunch of fun. I haven't gotten into the paper target matches, such as the Creedmore going on at Raton as we type.... But the buffalo matches, and the traditional Creedmore on steel targets is just a hoot. Torch the thing off and then wait 4 seconds to find out if you got a hit or not. |
