1000 or BUST!
Making this thread to keep a tally, record, and share my journey to 1000yds. My goal is to be able to hit a gong at 1000yds within the first five rounds shot at that distance. If you know a little about long range shooting, you realize it’s not as easy as just aiming and pulling the trigger. There are a lot of variables and math involved. So, to start off I will be purchasing a new rifle with a caliber that can get the job done ( I’ll have to do my part tho). I will update this thread with my journey, experiences, mistakes, positives, negatives, ect. Hope y’all will follow along on my road to 1K!
PS: a little disclaimer is that I HAVE shot and hit a target at 1K but, with someone else’s kit. I want to accomplish this with MY setup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was going to bring that up. Around what range it needed to be considered? Does it depend on the cartridge and velocity at range? Ect...... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
