4 of us drove to a fellow contractor's family lodge last Thursday after work. He has a 500 yard range set-up and we've been trying to plan a get together for some time now. Took a 7 ultra mag and a 300 win mag. The owner shot a 7 mag rem sendero. He shot low, adjusted his scope and rang the target the next two times. Shooter number two had a sako 300 wsm with a Lupe B&C reticle and hit it 3 times in succession. #3 shooter missed with his 25-06 and AR.

I fired 9 rounds in all from both rifles and am still scratching my head.

Steaks over oak coals and a bottle of Concannon Merlot afterwards...great felowship and hospitality.

Were the steaks good? If so I wouldn't worry about it!

Sounds like a good afternoon. I love shooting the gong at long range, something rewarding about the bing sound a couple seconds after the recoil.

The steaks were excellent trevore.

The best shooter was a 70 year old general contractor. He also hit it with a borrowed Rock River that my bud had just sprayed .223's all around the target with. Dude was a steady shot.

You guys shooting off a bench or a tripod?

Old age and treachery will overcome youth and agility purt near every time. My 78 yr uncle used to whip my butt every time we hit the golf course; never did beat him.

Sounds to me like you need a new gun.

Or more practice!

Wife and BBSY (oldest) will be out of town this weekend, so BBKY (youngest) and I are gonna take a bit of a trip and check out a 1000yd range not too far from here. I have a new rifle that, once scoped, I want to try out at distance.

Bench and bags.

...definitely need more practice.

500yds is a long shot. Been trying to set up a shoot with some friends, but this job I am on just will not end. Shooting & hanging out with freinds is a great way to spend the day & I just can not wait.
