Spent the weekend in VT, enjoying a little freedom and shooting. Last year we got to shoot at 850 yards, found a new field this trip and got the infamous 1000 yard shot! What an awesome time. Got a few pics and videos.


The target is a 35" round piece of steel. It's to the right of the tractor trailers. This pic is from the same spot as the one above, just better camera, zoomed in.


Here's the target, some of the bullets didn't stay stable all the way, 168SMK.


Day 2
A little shorter field. About 765 yards to the target.


Pretty cool shooting from on top of a big rig trailer!


Tracers from my 20" AR, iron sights. The 308 tracers I got just in time, not 1 worked.

I'll end with a little bit of MERICA!!!

Dude, that is fucking awesome. That might be one of the nicest looking range set-ups I have ever seen.

I laughed when I read the pics were taken from the same spot and I looked up at the first pic again. hahaha 1000 is fucking awesome.


Those ricochets are pretty hard core, too. Is that the whole round bouncing off, do you suppose, or just the tracer?

Zeg...thanks man, not sure about the tracers. If it breaks up or if it's the whole projectile. I was really bummed that the 308 tracers were duds. There's always the next trip though.

That is some really cool stuff there. Never even looked at anything more than 500m so 1000 yard is crazy. Awesome video for the added bonus. Thanks for the post. Made going to work this morning that much more tolerable. Been off the past two weeks after my wife just had our 3rd kid and I was dragging this morning.

It's most likely the projectile. Tracers are very unbalanced by design, it doesn't take much to cause them to deflect. Watch a you tube video of MGs at night and you'll see the fan dispersion after hitting the target.
