Great grouping.
If he had just put a little elevation in, he could have gotten maybe 8 or 9 in the cardboard.

Their idea of a great group might be lacking.
Also your sarcasm meter may be out of calibration.
Then I am the idiot in the room. It's me, the idiot. Perhaps using the word "great" was wrong. And I was not being sarcastic.
Just saying that things looked good but low.
I think a 24x24" steel target would be better. Would give instant feedback if you missed a 2MPH wind change somewhere along the way.
For a gas gun and factory ammo, I think it grouped good. Too bad it wasn't on paper to be able to measure it.
I was thinking just a huge plywood board nailed up to some 4x4s in buckets with concrete (cuz it's gonna catch a lot of wind) and then put a large piece of cardboard or paper stapled to it.
You arent an idiot, Ron.
I was being sarcastic.
I will give them youtube influencers props for truth in advertising.
At least they gave an unedited realistic video of that rifle performance.
Brandon tried it with one of his rifles and got an 11 inch group.
I was thinking maybe they can put those impact lights on the posts. When you hit it, there is a bright flash. This would also help with calls.
I suppose the grouping target is mounted with the center being approximately the same as the 1 MOA targets. That way, one could literally use DOPE (Data On Previous Engagements) and get that same elevation. And then, depending on wind direction, favor left or right quarter of target to make sure of getting on paper.
There is a lot of moving parts, here. Shooters have good and not as good days. Ammo, even handloaded, will have variances. The Texas wind will make you its bitch. It's not always constant, it can gust a little at just the most inopportune moment.

There is a monthly 1000 yard match at Bayou Rifles, south of Houston, shot on e-targets.
So, that would mean that you cannot practice there, only compete there. Which gives club members the advantage since they would have already have a few handy wind calls and distance elevation.
Where would someone go in south Texas that has long range public facilities? We have few up here in north Texas that do not require memberships. The one in Terrell goes to 1 mile, in fact.
No where, join my boat. You have to meet people and find places where you can get invited to shoot on private ranches. Or you can buy your own ranch as well.
These 1000 yard matches serve well to gather dope and get some data for your rifle though. Then you can go shoot a prs match using the acquired dope.
Theres already a fairly big thread on these videos.

“Texas Plinking” 1 MOA/1K Yard Challenge Videos
I thought this was an interesting YouTube series this guy has going. Cool to see all the different rigs. Might not be as entertaining to some more seasoned shooters, but I think it’s fun.

The reason I did not post in that thread is precisely because that is the 1 MOA @ 1K Challenge.Theres already a fairly big thread on these videos.

This, OTOH, is the 10 round group at 1K. I see the two as separate events and that is how I think Brandon has been treating it.
