  • The mile out club...

    Interesting article focusing on using commercial, off the shelf gear vs. wildly customized stuff.

    If it's good enough to ring a steel silhouette from a mile out, it's more capable than I'll ever be.
    It all started with an off hand comment.  A friend and I had been shooting to 1,000 yards and a little beyond for years and while talking to a 3rd friend one day and telling him about the D&L sports ITRC and a recent article in The Accurate Rifle magazine about it, I mentioned a…
    Athiest. Because... science

    Cool read, thanks. Most of my family on mom's side were born, raised, and still reside in Pike County, KY.

      Cool article. Now I am daydreaming about shooting 1000 yards with iron sights.

          At this point I'm better shooting with irons. I have a hard time getting things to look focused consistently using a scope. Even when I'm wearing contacts the sight picture ends up looking different from shot to shot when I use a scope. Looking through a tiny rear aperture makes everything look sharper for me.

          That's my serious response to your attempt to get me fired up about the rule changes.

                Warfab, don't let Thug beat you up about being a party pooper. Just remember someday when your kids are all grown up and you have them at the range you can tell them in your day you shot 1000 yards with irons with whimpy little 90 gr 5.56 boolits! They will want to clean your barrels for you after that story.

                    I'm hoping they'll work the reloading press too.
