[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1898664, member: 34818"] [ATTACH type="full"]192723[/ATTACH] Took my 10 year old son out shooting this morning and I’m pretty dang sure that he has surpassed me in the shooting department ;). He has never shot to 1000 yards before so I decided since it was his rifle(7mm Sherman MAX) that I would let him verify the drop at 1000 yards. Set up the steel and went back and ranged it and it read out at 1003 yards. We have not shot to 1000 with this rifle yet sowe needed to verify the drop first. The kestrel showed 22.5 MOA of elevation was needed. The wind was blowing at 2mph from our 6 o clock which made it really nice! He got down prone and got set up and let one fly. It was about a half minute low but dead on for wind. I then explained to him what we needed to do and had him move a 1/2 minute up. He got back down and hit one dead center. He then proceeded to hit the 10” circle 3 more times for his 4 shot group at 1003 yards. I’m pretty sure he has or is about to surpass me. Couldn’t be happier for him! [/QUOTE]
