Family fun at 3/4 mile!

Well almost...1316yrds to be exact.
Took my dad and nephews out a couple days ago, they had never shot that far before. The older one shot first and was actually on target before we knew he was? Wind was quartering from behind us and we just weren't hearing the impacts. He actually hit it 3 times (the 2 he's pointing at and you can see one on the far left). The younger brother hit it in 4 shots and my dad got it in 3. 223AI running a 85gr Berger @ 2950fps.

Very nice! Are they hooked now?

 

[308win]

Oh yea! I'm sure the stories that will be told to their friends will rival Pecos Bill? My dad and I shoot all the time, but the boys don't have this opportunity .

Good stretch for the pee shooter

Good stretch for the pee shooter

Especially with any wind at all.

Great job getting them out shooting! Glad to see that!

Yea, she's still supersonic at distance, barely

Started at 4 minutes and ended up at 1. Wind was 5 o'clock at about 4 to 6 mph switching to our 6 o'clock

After they all hit, I did this. Kinda cheating since I already knew the wind call. 10" plate on the 3rd shot. Held 1 minute on first shot missed left, dead on 2nd shot missed right. You guessed it, 1/2 minute was the number

I consider my 6 creed a pea shooter, but the .22 takes the cake!

.22 in a 85gr going almost 3000fps is one hell of a pea shooter

Really GREAT to have family get together and do some shooting. We are happy for your family

That's still a long way for such a little bullet. 108grs going that same speed seems little compared to 180grs doing the same thing. I applaud the accomplishment.

Awesome! Sounds like a great way to spend some time together and create some interest in young shooters! memtb
