  • So who else was ringing steel at 200 yards today

    What a blast - pun intended! First time I've had the chance to shoot that far and I loved it. Went to a friend's club today as I have a couple handguns he wanted to check out. After a couple hours of pistol went to 200 yd range with a Yugo SKS and an AR15. Iron sights on SKS made the first few shots difficult but once figured the hold over (which was pretty small BTW) was able to hit almost every shot. AR with red dot was dead on after sighting in on 50 yd range - couldn't miss. That steel sounds great when you smack it from that far.
    Ok I can go a couple ways

      Our club goes out to 200yds. I don't own anything capable of that shot so I've never tried it. I will one day though.

      Nice way to ring in the season Calc

        Welcome to the 200 yard line Calculon! Now that you got the taste you may understand why some of us are real passionate about shooting distance with irons. Get some practice shooting 200 off-hand and get out to a CMP or NRA match and give it a try!

          I was ringing aluminum at 10 yards yesterday. Does that count?
          I could be wrong...it's happened before and it'll happen again.

            Funny thing is I always shot worse at 300 meters then I did 500 but it could of been shooting position. That is also why I like pistol. I think you need great trigger discipline to shoot pistol which helps with rifle.

            Keep up the distance shooting if you can.... Fun and challenging.

                  Sounds like a great idea. Any restrictions on rifles that can be used? I have a couple different C&R rifles (SKS, K31 Swiss, Various Mosin Nagant) but jonesing for a Garand.

                      I vaguely remember seeing either here or over yonder you live in Dutchess Calculon. Is this true or have my brain cells been knocked around a few too many times?
