Long range shooting
Nebraska’s post about shooting at 125 yards with a condor inspired me to shoot past 100 yards. I was shooting as far as I can go at my house.(134 yards) The wind was not bad but still made it hard to shoot a good group.
Most groups were about this size
I caught a break in the wind and got these five shots in
Just over 2 inches! 😀
One of the coolest things about shooting that far out is when you shoot a tin can you will see it start falling before you hear the hit.

Thanks alot guys. I do most of my shooting(95+%) from a sitting position and standing and I think it is really starting to pay off.
Yea, those groups are plenty tight enough… I would have to start calling my
long range groups, “Long range accidents”…
Hell Jeff, do us all a favour and don’t do any prone or bench shooting if you can get results like that off your knee… 😎 😆
Some nice shooting guys! Here are some more groups from 134 yards in mostly calm conditions from a sitting position.
One shot missed the board on this one
This is my best group so far at this range
Hell Jeff, they are safe at 100, save for the odd good shot!!
Nah, I do myself an injustice… I can pop them out to 100 with the Condor, out to about 150 with the lr.
Well let’s just say that the rabbits are safe at 200yds or more…lol
That shows consistancy. I just do the one offs…… 😳 😆 😆
Just kidding 😆
Oooops, sorry…. Now I am back on track….
200yds group….
Geesh guys way to highjack a thread.
Just kidding 😆
I was VERY pleased with meself… 😆
As crazy as it sounds, I think it is subconscious which is a force of sorts….
I must admit, I had to hide my surprise at the hit as those around me gasped in admiration. I just casually said ‘Hmm, nice one, quite pleased at that’ whilst inside I was giving it large portions of WHOOOO HOOOOOOO !!!
That definitely goes in the “Great Days” catagory

My 155 yarder was shot from the knee. Some say it was luck. I say it was the Force…. 😆

I’M going to be like Pab I remember this like it was yesterday but this is with Archery Equipment, had a cook out at my house when I lived in Town and a Rabbit appeared at what I estimated to be 30 yds this is back in the day I shoot every day never missed a day, was shooting at 3 D shoots every weekend! Any hoo I spoke up and said to several of my friends I should just shoot that one for supper with my bow they all laughed and said we know you are good with your bow but “come on” happen to be the bow was hanging in my gargae close by with a couple of old arrows along with my release so I brought it out no one said a word drew it back took careful aim and curr wooppp! direct hit! only problem was it started to give out this horrible scretch the ones that bring in the coyotes then from out of the blue comes a very big cat grabs the rabbit so I take off and chase this thing I ain’t given up my arrow for a rabbit now! grabbed my arrow and headed back to my cook out! watched for the cat to return then slowly walked over and got my rabbit cleaned it and had it a couple days latter,needless to say I was the hit of the cook out 😆
