I'd say cold to 600yds, it'd be 50%, probably better, but if I was betting, it'd be 50%, wind calls kill me the majority of the time.
I don't know why you bring up motor T?Dude was probably motor T, and touched his rifle for grass and qual,
Well, since you brought it up, I was an engineer officer and I won the US Army Alaska championship all three years I competed. I shot twice at the I Corps (three plus divisions at the time) Championships; the first time I finished second (a Ranger beat me but I beat the other Rangers) and first place the second year. The second year I Corps was commanded by LTG Schwartzkopf and he gave me my trophy (as well as congratulating me during a team match). The middle trophy is the one he gave me.I don't know why you bring up motor T?
I was motor T and did a stint of a month or so at the rifle range in Okinawa. If I remember correctly only 4-5 marines topped my high score and yes some were grunts.
Remember that even qualifying as a marksman in the marines will top all other branches.
No love for me now but you guys loved me when I drove your tired but's back to the barracks after a week in the field!![]()
I agree. I felt it is a good challenge for those interested in hunting. The shooter was horrible though. I'd like to see a competent shooter with an accurate custom rifle try it. Maybe a professional PRS competitor. I think that would be entertaining.To me this is exactly what this forum is about. Long Range Hunting from unknown positions and ranges. You have to figure all this stuff out and make it happen with very high hit ratios on first round shots. This is what makes a hunting long range so difficult in reality then on paper. It's also why NRL hunter is a great comp to separate key board warriors from the folks who get it done. I hunt predators all winter and some times it feels like a barn is hard to hit.
There's several PRS guys that could and have cleaned something like this.I agree. I felt it is a good challenge for those interested in hunting. The shooter was horrible though.

At unknown distances using their rangefinder? Maybe, but I'd like to see it done. The marine reminds me of some FL and AL hunting club members who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. They constantly missed standing deer from a steady shooting box at 100yds.There's several PRS guys that could and have cleaned something like this.
That really shouldn't be a problem. Range finder off the top of tripod, either on a plate or just stabilized on a shooting bag, should have no issues ranging milk jugs out to 600At unknown distances using their rangefinder? Maybe, but I'd like to see it done.
The scores that folks are posting from real shooting events are IMO a great indicator of how difficult it is to shoot large strings really well, using really nice equipment. Thanks to all who have posted their real scorecards. These actual scorecards tell a different story from what most people think and say.If given training in range estimation, maybe one of our former junior shooters can hit better than most using the service rifle she shoots, 20 inch barrel 4.5X scope, sling.
200 yards standing 3 inch X ring, 7 inch 10, sling nor allowed.
200 yard sitting rapid in 60 seconds, sling, same target as in standing.
300 yards prone rapid in 70 seconds, sling, 1 moa X ring, 7 inch 10 ring.
600 yards prone, single load, sling, 1 moa x ring, 2 moa 10 ring.
Score was shot at Camp Perry last year
