[QUOTE="Oz300wm, post: 241655, member: 12392"] hey all :D well ive started to burn through some rounds at some distance now with my new rifle. ive set up balloons from 600-900 yards and dialled them in and then picked them off. once you get them dialled in they aint too hard to hit at 900 yards even in some serious wind. ill keep pushing them back as i get better. what i was wondering was. what else do you guys use to practise with and get good on before you started taking game at long range? i cant use paper targets because you cant see if you have hit them at that range to make adjustments and im worried about ricochets off a steal plate balloons have been great because they're easy to see and cheap and you know when you hit and they would be about the same size as the kill zone on a buck. im pretty much getting 100% hits at 900 yards on a 8 inch balloon in any wind. pretty much im getting better groupings at 900 yards than at 200 yards standing up so how much more practise would i need to start trying on game at that range? cheers guys :) some pics - [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/brennyP/900yards.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/brennyP/balloonshunt037.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
