long range precision shooting?

You anywhere near vt? I'd love to shoot at those places.

 

Like the set up! In my opinion the 308 is the all time classic long range cartridge.

 

I don't own anything but archery, but I have shot targets to 100yds with 8x scope. It's surprisingly accurate.

That said, my buddy just picked up a Savage 0.17 cal. That should be a hoot or long/medium distance shooting without breaking the bank.

 

I hunt archery. Use in a Mathews creed. Like to see your set up.

 

For long distance targets, I shoot a Hoyt Alpha elite at about 50#, CBE sight with 4-8x lens, 36" front and 15" rear B stinger stabilizers, Limbdriver or Brite Site Pro Tuner rest , Easton ACG or Carbon One arrows and Scott Black hole 2-finger hinge release. For hunting, I shoot a Hoyt Spyder 34 at 60#, Limmdriver rest, Stokerized stabilizers and Easton ACC Pro hunters, Steel Force 14g single bevel broadhead and again, the Scott Black Hole 2-finger hinge. I got me some wicked bad target panic, so I can't shoot anything but a hinge or I will surely yank the shot.

 

What do you shoot for a target at long distance? Do you try for grouping or the one in each target dot?

 

This is one of my best shot. Consistency is easier said than done.

 

Kinda' think you two are comparing two different animals.

 

100 yrd for a bow is way beyond normal practice and takes a steadier hand than being prone with 3 point of contact on the ground. Long range check, shooting check, precision check. Yes execution is different but skills required are quite similar.

 

I hear ya. Mike was talking archery then you posted that nice group with your .308. Just so's were all on the same page.
I shoot archery to 50 yrds, and rifle to 500 yrds, pistol to 100. When time allows of course.

 

Pistol to a 100. What ya shooting there? That ain't easy either. Do you go for groups or steel plate at that distance. Have never tried to shoot that far with a pistol.

 

Ruger KMK 10 for kicks. Built a Ruger MK1 with a 14" Douglas barrel that nailed prairie dogs out to close to 200. .41 and .44 mags over the years, maybe a T/C or two, but nothing recent. Have a new SRH- .454 on the way, for Elk next year, just don't tell the wife. Shhhh......

 

The big brothers to my mk11. What you running for the rifle?

 

Your MK2 isn't a slouch. Betcha ding a 6" gong, 8 out of 10 @ 100 easy.

 

Once I figure the hold over and wind correction. What's the BC of a .22? If there even is one. Just might have to try that.

 

Honestly never bother to check BC on a .22lr,. You know .22's can be ammo sensitive so I concentrated on reliability more than anything else. I've become a fan of the Aguila SSS. Shoots well in a number of .22s I have, even though common thought is that it shouldn't. I just like the penetration characteristics. Accuracy is a bonus.

 

Rifle? Various, .223 rem, wylde, on up to .338 WM. I've got a few .308's but stick to .300 WM or .338 WM for hunting, depends where I'll be.

 

About 1k miles.

 

Slightly further than a day trip.

 

Yeah unfortunately
