Backfire 1 MOA Challenge

[Long Cut]

I genuinely hope this opens more peoples eyes (and egos). The number of bucks I’ve seen with bullet wounds is ridiculous. My one farm has a neighbor wounding or losing at least 1 buck every season. For YEARS.

We owe it to these animals to make clean, ethical kills. Yeah things happen, but that can be mitigated by practicing with your equipment.

Watch the video and see if you’re a “1 MOA Shooter”

My ol rugers and kimbers shoot better than those new fancy looking target rifles their shooting

Kid is a heck of a shooter. Curios, what distance?

100 yards. His father raised him well, he can stack them in their!

Post up a 100 yard 5 shot group

This thread should get good by deer season...

I'll try to post a target, but it's been quite a while since I did a 5 shot MOA group...

 

[Milkman]

Try shooting a group like that from a ladder stand.

Here’s a four shot from a few days ago. Of course I pulled that outside shot - pretty sure I sneezed!

This is a 308 with 168s hand loaded. Tikka CTR and fixed 10x SWFA.

This is a typical 100 yd group for me.
It’s the rifle I used the last two seasons.
I don’t waist ammo on 5 shot groups.

You nailed it… prone vs bench vs bipod vs branch or worse, offhand! All very different stories.

 

[Railroader]

Well, I ain't got no fancy targets, range or rifles. But I just stepped out to the back yard table with a 10/22 I know pretty well...

Shot three targets at 50, five rounds each.




Number two was the best one, I thought I was in there, but of course I blew the last shot... That's it, up top.



Ain't quite MOA, but I'll take it for a spur of the moment range session, after reading this thread with a cup of coffee...

If I had to bet I’d say treecutter’s next 5 shots with a rifle will be 1 to check his scope and 4 dead animals

It’s not really a challenge, more-so to keep guys “fresh” and practicing with their guns.

Besides, off a bench and free-hand are two totally different beasts.

Five shots with my .300 is about $25. No thanks. I already know it will do MOA at 100 with the right ammo.

$315 CVA Scout 6.5 CM at 100 yards

I’ve shot better and worse before. I’d wager I’m a 1-2 MOA shooter depending upon the day. Deer don’t seem to mind, I’m not trying to win medals out here.

Another member of the $315 rifle club, checking in, except mine is the 35 Whelen. These are pretty regular results for my pet load. It tickles me that I get good groups like this with necked-up Garand brass and a hand press.

You need to click that scope down and to the right a little bit.

Those were from load development, but it's dead-center now.

... And about an inch high

In the 56 years I have been deer hunting the vast majority of deer I have shot were well within 100 yards, most probably within 50 yards.

Yep.
