Estimate's

Post by a.JR »

Hi all ,Wondered what your guess is to the group sizes that will be shot at the 1st 600 yd match ..No one from here has tried it yet so it's anyone's guess.. In markin out the new distance it looks horrible close to the 500 Fly mound ,i'm not going to if and but and mabye myself.. The increase in vertical on our range is about 3 X times from from 551yds to 1000yds in my guns ,what do ya reckon it is from 551 yds to 601yds???Who.s going out on a limb..JR..Jeff Rogers..Just found an old Fly practice target from the 300 Redneck, lowset shot is 1st sighter,straight above is 2nd sighter,them rattled a 5 shoter on and it went .901 ... Wish i could do that in a comp, huhImage
