Long Range Shooting!

[knockonit]

well for me, it looks like the old boys had a great time figuring out the physics of it all, making the attempt and as a team being successful, now that as a whole, (meaning getting gun guys to agree on any one subject) is the fricken feat of success.

let alone the fact that they did hit the target, its no different than siting in any other long range shooter, you gotta dial it in, it takes shots, knowing the weapon, and understanding the wind, so many variables,
i say hooray for them,

I tell you what. I would put this 12 yr old girl, that's not a shooter up against all of you. With technology doing all the work. But hey she pulled the trigger so she deserves all the credit. Anyone can be a sniper.

Why don't you come out and show us how it's done. There is at least 2-3 Precision Rifle matches each month. My buddy's 8 y/o daughter shoots these matches and beats grown-ass men regularly...

No one is saying ELF is easy but when you can't directly see the target nor put the reticle on it then it is now indirect fire plain and simple. From the what I see in the video it appears they have a display in front of the scope showing them the target from a downrange camera(?).

I stand corrected on the display comment. Very interesting bit of equipment.

And what have you done???

What have I done as in what ??? (not sure what the 3 question marks are all about ).
I have shot 1000 yards before.
I have to admit I shoot 800 yards more than 1000.
You seem to be offended that someone would question what the guy in the original post has done.
The guy shot at a target until he hit it , then celebrated like it was some great feat.
Not to mention the ridiculous amount of money that was spent on his gun and equipment used to make this one hit.
He did not do it a second time. Why is that ?
If you give anyone enough ammo and time they can lob bullets into any target.
Sorry but I am still not impressed.
You may now have the last word.

I'm not going to argue about this stupid sh!t anymore. In conclusion. Shooting target while in scope at 800 not hard, at 1000 getting interesting, 1500 yes skill really kicks in, 2000 absolutely skill oriented, 2500 more than skill needed. 3000 if still can see target skill and the love for shooting ELR is needed. Once you can no longer see target but if you have enough rounds to continue to shoot until your forward observer tells you you hit it before the report is heard. Well your are a glorified trigger puller. That's it. Now if you had a camera system that allowed you to see the target and let you repeatedly hit said target over and over. Let's say 5 to 10 that's great. But a 1 time hit and call it good is bullsh!t. Follow up with another.
1 time = lucky
2 times =ok
3 times = fair
4 times = good
5 times = better
6 times = great

You're still arguing :roll:

Not after that post. Why do you want to?

Just a follow up on the guy in this article. He won the King Of 2 Mile match last weekend in Raton.

Maybe Ranger1 will start a new account so he can keep trolling

"No competitor scored more than one hit at 3166 yards (1.799 miles), and no competitor scored even a single hit at the farthest target, placed at 3525 yards (2.0028 miles). So the actual 2-Mile target was never hit during the event."

So, technically he is the "King of 1.799 Miles"

I find the dedication to the coordination and technical expertise for these EXTREME long distance shootings, to bet quite intriguing !!! :clap:

Of course, this accolade is coming from a guy who thinks shooting a 9 inch gong at 250 yards is quite the accomplishment.

I think this thread falls under the old saying,... "those that can,... do,.... those that can't,... teach"! :think:

Or, at the most, they,... think,... they can teach.
