Not sure what I ever did to you to get your panties wadded up, but you should really let it go. Or even just let me know what it was, specifically?

If that is all it took, then I'm thinking you need to take a couple of tablespoons of cement?

I am not the best shot out there, but I spent a lot of time shooting and re-loading. My bear was 620 yards, one shot one kill, my buck was 763 yards, my doe was 83. Not easy shots used Xsticks to steady and had to wait the wind. My buck and bear were shot exactly where I aimed. My doe was about 2" high.

Just checked the thread. Surprised it's not locked, and that some of the handles don't have "banned" underneath them. Mods must be on x-mas vacation. LOL

Far fetched stuff gets posted here all the time. It is the internet. Take it with a grain of salt. Effectively jumping on a band wagon and bullying someone into having to prove it, under circumstances that he has no control over, proves nothing. Calling a guy out with a gang of fellows waiting in wings, says much, but not about the fellow making the claims.
If you think its BS, then say so, and leave it at that. Why ask someone to do something that you yourself wouldn't do?

i dunno it sounded fun to me. a bunch of gun loving guys hopping in a truck heading to a heated range to b.s., eat smokies, take low percentage shots at long distances, laugh, make bets, and shoot things.

that sounds like a good time to me. also if anyone wants to call me out on my gopher shooting just name the time and place we'll go plug gophers

I am going to call you out on your 100m freehand gophers (not that I dont think you can do it, I just love a good competition). The centerfire/rimfire decision is actually what field I will take you to as per owners request. Some guys dont like all the noise of the centerfire.

No evidence, will will have forgotten both our cell phones, the GoPro's and all other methods of recording data at home. We did however remember to bring the Kestrel for correct cooey windage and that proved out 40km/hr gusts that we had to contend with all the while shooting offhand.

Don't recall the challenge but bring it on big boy!

But you have failed to accept the offers from other forum members so guess I am pretty sure you would fail to cause me any great shame!

Hmmm now I wanna see how we'll I'll do free handing/ standing 500 yard shots.

That's a heck of a long range when unsupported.

I'll probably use my 66% ipsc ( or something ) man silhouette gong.

I'll bring the sauerkraut and some onions and a gun that'll probably miss. It'll be fun regardless of hit or miss.
