Long range practice

[huntsman22]

The boss on the ranch I work on has sprung for some more gong steel. I'll extend my meager 700 yard range out to a mile. Gongs every 100 yards to 1000, and then 1200, 1500 and 1760. He had me order steel this morning... 4-5 days to cut it, and then I can pick it up in Denver and set up the extended part.

I like it, have been planning something similar at the ranch I put shoots on at

 

[huntsman22]

I would rather scatter them at random distances, but a lot of the guys that come to shoot, don't have rangefinders and most just shoot from the bench.. I set it up to be easy for them.....

 

[Muley Buck]

I'm drooling....

 

[sportsmans challenge]

Now just to find some land near coeur d alene ti ve able to set up on. Make the drive not as long.

How big are the gongs you're shooting? I've got a 10" that I like shooting...but it starts to look pretty small at 700+

 

[huntsman22]

6, 8, 10, and 12" rounds to 400.12x16 rectangle at 5, 18x18 to 1000. 30" squares at 12, 15 and a mile. Can't make it too tuff on the visitors.....

 

[Sodbuster]

You have a very nice boss.

And a killer set up.

 

[Oldffemt]

Is your boss hiring?

 

[huntsman22]

Sure. If you wanna work for $10 an hour..... I got all the target stands lazed in, posts pounded and chains and spreaders installed this weekend. I'll toss up a pic when I get the steel hung....

 

[huntsman22]

I moved the 700 yarder over in the left group.The 100-600 on the right, the 7, 8, 9, 1000, 1250, 1500,1760 yarder top left, under the treeline.

[sportsmans challenge]

These pics remind me of the field of dreams movie, when the shoeless joe Jackson says," is this heaven?"

 

[huntsman22]

No. it's eastern Colorado.....not Iowa
