This is a pretty fun video to watch. I could use a nice open range like that in my back yard.

Now I think I'm probably jealous. That guy just might have a better scope than I do on my BA110.
And I KNOW I'm jealous of anybody who can find a place to do a 1-mile shot. 850 yards is the best we've been able to find so far; and that's 200 miles from home.

Peacemaker in WV has a 1000 yard range, and so does Quantico

I'm fixin' to give you a little insight into one of the slight disadvantages of living in Far Southwest Virginia:
It's 420 miles from here to Quantico.
Where in West Virginia is Peacemaker?

Found Peacemaker on the 'net. Glengary, WV. That's a LOT handier for me. It's only 369 miles.

Quantico lets civilians shoot there? I'm only 2 hours from Quantico but I have nothing that could dream of stretching out to a 500 yards much less 1000. About 3 hours from Peacemaker. Hey how about shooting a Peacemaker in Peacemaker at 1000 yards? lol

They're not real accommodating about that.

They have an informal F Class shoot at the end of the month. I'm taking my .300 WinMag out at some point once I get her dialed in. Quantico is 20 minutes from my house, mostly due to traffic lights

higher... higher.... hold a little bit higher... That's it! Did you hear it?! I swear I heard it hit that time...
