I've never been a big long shooter but maybe we will see an increase in ban states. I've only shot out to 650ish at a class

1000 yards on a golf course at the bottom of a narrow valley with horrible windy conditions.
600 yards is routine. |
|
Using my M1A and AR15, I shot G.I. steel helmets at ~300 meters. Shot at rocks with a Reising SMG at circa 400 meters. With an M82 Barrett, plinked at boulders on a hill maybe 600-700 meters across the border in Mexico.

500yds
And I've only been able to do it once. However, my "qualification" group was palm sized with a 5.56 with a breeze so I was happy enough |

1600 meters with my 6.5 Grendel out on some BLM land in New Mexico.
|
|
1000 a few times, but the longest range at the club I normally shoot at only goes to 600. |
|
|
800 civy multi-range f-class comp.
ETA: practice range goes out to 600 |
|
1,000 yards; I have the facilities to shoot longer, but it's hard enough at 1k for now.

My friends and I set up a 1000 yard range in the forest but the farthest I have shot is 900 yards (6.5 Creedmoor).
I need to refine my loads and get the velocity SD down a bit (sometimes it's single digits but other times it gets up to 12-15), at 800 yards my shots start opening quite a bit and I'm having trouble at 900 yards - haven't even tried shooting at 1K yards yet. |

Chris How far from Temple Terrace is that? I get down there every year or so and would love to play on a 1k meter range. Also, is it public, or can just anyone join? |

I have access to a couple of 1K YD+ locations...
My M242 I shot in the military, targetry was regularly out to 1700 meters |
|
Civilian, out to 1200 yards on steel, oddly enough I have shot 4 wolves, 2 at less then 10 yards and 2 at over 600 yards, also shot 1 grizzly at over 600 yards but only because a buddy wounded it and it was headed into country we couldn't easily get into...took 7 shots with the bear at a dead run on the valley floor for me to get the hold, but then 3 straight in the breadbasket stopped him..all shots with 300 RUM and hand loads....

I've only shot out to 650ish at a class View Quote Outside my capacity as a member of the armed forces I have shot to 1200 yards (with a purpose built palma gun). Inside the military, excluding competition, I believe 867 meters is the longest shot I have taken at a point target (with an M24, if I remember correctly. It was a decade ago and was not my rifle.) I am a fan of long range matches picking up in ban states, as well as civil disobedience becoming a popular pastime. I routinely shoot ARs, to include a Mk18, out to anywhere from 500 to 600 yards. |

Farthest shot or farthest hit?
Farthest shot with rifle 900 yards with 7.62 Farthest hits with 7.62 rifle 400 yards. Farthest hits with M-60E3 about 500 yards. Walking tracer rounds in always makes life easier. |

With iron sights.......600 yards in several hi-power matches. Known distance, so it was "easier." And, the actual targets are huge. They only look small from that distance.
Aloha, Mark |

1600M(1Mi) at a rock as big as a house, with a Mosin Nagant. I managed to see a few bounce off of it. I did shoot at a Ma deuce range in the Army. I think it was 800M.
|
|
300Y is the max at the range I'm a member of. 250Y on a deer many years ago.
|
|
Officially? 100 yards. Unofficially (with a range finder at an impromptu range?). I wanna say 600 yards.
If I've shot further (and I probably have), it's completely unverified. |
|
1110 yards in the civilian world. I'm Air Guard and we rarely shoot for them.
|
|
4000 yards but it was with a mortar tube.
1800 yards but I really didn't go good and didn't get a good dope for it. Ft. Drum on our afrcom NYSRPA shoot. Hell I was having a time at half that distance. Too many shooters flinging lead willy nilly and shooting other peoples targets. |
|
I've taken pokes out to 600-700. but my longest hit on a prairie dog was 550.
Plus the usual Army qual ranges. |
|
914M on the range with Bill Davidson at Tac Pro.
400M on game in Alaska. |
