Longest coyote kill shot...1860 yards!!

Youtube ^ | Apr 30, 2014 | TheDartman76

[Oatka]

137 feet of bullet drop is like shooting a mortar.

I used to have an 1880s 45-70 Springfield manual that had fold-outs in the back. They were "killing range" diagrams of standing men and men on horseback. One specific "killing range" with the 500 grain infantry load was the distance between being hit in the head and hit in the ankle at 1,000 yards. That lethal distance was something like 20 yards, so if you were off by just 20 yards in range estimation either way, you'd miss.

Makes this guy's shot all the more remarkable, even though he admitted it was a "scratch shot".

LOL!

This is #1 of 78 videos on the subject. It might be an idea to download them all considering what happened at the Bundy Ranch this past week.<

SNIPER 101 Part 1 - Introduction - Rex Reviews

Snipers, hunters, target shooters, ladies and gentlemen... Finally, Rex Reviews releases this long awaited free online long range shooting / sniper tutorial. TiborasaurusRex will walk you through everything you will need to know about sniper ammunition and cartridge selection, rifle and equipment options, basic and advanced external ballistics, making effective ballistic charts, rangefinders and distance determination, long range marksmanship, shooter / spotter team dynamics and communication, choosing a FFP, making the shot, spotting the shot, and much more.

This course goes far beyond what is covered in the U.S. Army FM23-10. So, if you can't make it to Quantico or the AMTU to learn these long range shooting skills, this video tutorial series will have you covered. We will get you set up to make amazingly accurate first round shots at 1 mile and beyond. Do you want to be able to zap that white tail buck at 1,275 yards and be confident it will be a nice clean kill? Watch this series!

All law abiding men and women in the free world who treasure their rifles MUST have these long range shooting skills for the continuation of our shooting culture and for the future preservation of our wonderful nation! Peace is beautiful, insure it by sharing these marksmanship skills with your friends and families to exponentially increase our nations already robust defense stature against. Stay clean, obey the law, and keep smiling.

I think everyone needs a hobby and I'd like to suggest one that may just possibly become a popular patriotic one - learning to shoot at long range targets. Have you ever wished you could hit a small target that is 3000 feet away? Yes, 1000 yards seems like a long distance but it does not require that you spend $5000 on your equipment. 1,000 yard BUDGET RIFLE! .243 at 1,021 yards - REX Reviews

Do you want a real budget rifle? How about a target that's 944 yards away. Nail it with a M91 Mosin Nagant - using 7N1 Sniper Ammo and no scope! That's right just IRON SIGHTS!

Look at the course that Rex has designed for everyone. Here are some of his video titles on Long Range Shooting.

I hope everyone on this forum decides they want to become an expert shooter and learn how to hit a 5 gallon bucket at 1000 yards with their first shot. It a challenge that's worth your time. That I'll guarantee you.

Particularly with the price and availability of ‘practice’ ammo......

[B4Ranch]

I’ll bet that if were sincere and follow Rex’s advice that you wouldn’t spend $300 for ammunition. If that’s too much then maybe you shouldn’t attempt learning to shoot long range.

[Doomonyou]

Boom!

[Doomonyou]

That, was awesome.

Too late, did it the ‘Old Corps’ way.........and have access to 1,000+ yard places to shoot, so I do.

[cynwoody]

What a shot! I’d be more impressed if it were a congresscritter. ;)

I'm assuming you are casting aspersions on the legendary shooting ability of a former member at large from the great State of Wyoming.

[DCBryan1]

Absolutely! I’d be even MORE MORE impressed if it were a POTUS such as the legendary Teddy Roosevelt.

[mad_as_he$$]

Cheaper than a day a Disneyland and way more challenging. OR three rounds of golf. OR a night at the strip club. OR less than one truck payment. BTW I reload 338 Lapua for our local long range shooters, not one of them winches at the price. Nothing like reaching out and touching a target at 1,000 meters.

[B4Ranch]

How much did you spend learning to shoot?

[S.O.S121.500]

After attaining a degree of proficiency at my “father’s knee” (and reloading presses) I was actually paid to advance my skills at the University of Science Music and Culture for a number of years.

After ‘graduation’ and cultivating my brother’s training in the arts of gun smithing and manufacture, I’m now a lowly field tester for his enterprise.

Field testing from the 1000 meter range in Yuma to any of the safe vistas on public lands in Arizona and New Mexico we continue to caress the bang switch with the exotic and innovative products that come my way.

Guess the short answer to your query would be that I’m still paying, forward as I can. Dollars and cents? What does it matter at this point?

[S.O.S121.500]

You cannot start an argument like that.....

[mad_as_he$$]

What Disneyland or strip club?

[S.O.S121.500]

What Disneyland or strip club?

Sorry, you have me at a disadvantage being ignorant of both venues.

[mad_as_he$$]

Ah so you are a golfer.

[B4Ranch]

Evidently it is a skill that term worthy to know. Is $300 too much to learn it?

[S.O.S121.500]

Ah so you are a golfer.

Hardly, though I have a friend whom plays. I’m happy just hunting, fishing, trapping, bench rest , reloading, fly tying,....
