Uncle Russ:
Looks like my glasses are working today.
I have a strong suspicion that Joe is jerking my leg, because I could have sworn the only thing I got last night was a video of a snake swallowing a rabbit.

That's my story! And I'm going to hang on to it as long as I can...... :laffing

SharpStick:
How'd they do that?  :o

For the last year or so I've been trying to hit a 18" square steel plate at 300yds.
Last week was my closest yet - missed by a foot.

I have to aim around 15 feet high. In the past I haven't been able to see where I hit - too much smoke. Tried enlisting a range officer or video'd it to get some feedback.  Tried something new. I closed left eye, aimed, then, holding steady as best I can, I opened my left eye and watched as I pulled the trigger.  It worked. I saw the puff of dust on the berm behind the target.

Someday that steel's gonna ring out!

LOL!!! Russ, last night I was watching one of Mike's videos of a snake swallowing a rabbit over at his neighbors house... Why that would show up when you clicked on that 200 yard gong shot video - I have no idea, but that's interesting... I expect that was at Mike's end...

blackpowderbill:
   Beliveau shoots at 200 yards quite often for practice. He featured one of his videos doing that.   It takes some practice. At the one range I shoot at I'll shoot cross lanes at a body shaped steel target. I usually hit it, last month it was a miss. The target is a good 200 yds out and you can hardly hear the ping when the ball hits.


 

Ohio Joe:
I've shoot at 200 yards before and hit the big gong that use to be at our local Range (it was a 24" circle - mild steel) and with hold over and hold off (depending on wind conditions) I could hit it pretty regularly... It got to the point it was so pitted and full of holes it was finally taken down and junked for the safety of the shooters... I've also shot at paper 200 yard target with success (again - hold over and reading the wind). Fun stuff for sure.

I've seen Mikes (Timothy Murphy) video, with his swivel breech rifle about getting it to 200 yards... However, the one thing that baffles me is how tall his front sights are on that swivel breech rifle... So I don't know if he decided to go "sight base aiming" or just what? I'm not sure he ever shared that / or I missed it.  :shake
