So what you're looking at is probably one of the best shots I've taken. This was shot around 225 yards, one shot, in about 5mph wind. It's not so much the shot, but what I shot it with. This was made with what some of you will remember as "the redheaded stepchild". It's my beater AR that I'm at almost 600 rounds without cleaning, that I built simply to beat the crap out of....Very cheaply, at that. Some of you could shoot like this with a slingshot, but I just got some land cleared this week so that I could shoot past 100 yards, so I'm pretty excited. Don't laugh too hard.

Sounds like a pretty awesome shot to me. It does appear that you have a issue with high fructose corn syurp, ester gum and brominated vegtable oil though.

You know Dave I got to thinking after you posted this, and since I'm still out shooting I decided to press my luck. To be fair, this is not shot number 2, but shots 3,4,and 5 with slight Kentucky wind

If that’s a 225 yard shot and you could do it again; that’s impressive. If you were aiming at a target 2 feet away and it hit that bottle; not so much. biggrin.gif

I've never really shot past 150 yards other than I few rounds on someone else's property, but now since clearing the land I'll get to shoot this distance all the time, I like it a lot. Thanks bud

Nice shooting!

What optic are you running on that? Or just irons?


I wish it was just irons! It inherited a PA 1-4x24 recently. Thanks guys.

Please, don't anyone think I'm bragging by making this post (nothing to brag about I don't think) I just don't have anyone to share it with, all my wife wants to know is when I'm coming home to fill the holes in the yard our puppy dug lol

How far will you be able to shoot when you get your land cleared?


Around 300, but I need to measure, that's just me stepping it off. I'm pretty limited past that because of the hillside I shoot into

Man that is so cool. To shoot 300 yards I have to wait at a range or drive to Illinois. Most of the time anymore its wait until I go to Illinois.

If you can repeat and repeat, you have done very well for a 5.56 carbine! Nice shot and congrats on having a place like that to practice!
