Advanced Marksmanship 365y Shot

[rickp]

Hey guys,
Sitting around so I thought I would share this with you. Yesterday a buddy of mine who is cop and I went shooting all day. As the end of the day was approaching, another friend asks me to shoot a small water bottle 8" tall by 2.5" wide, at a distance of 365y.
I was shooting a .308 AI AW with Black Hills 175gr. It was about 4:30PM and the sun was in my eyes casuing a bit of lens flare.
It took me 3 shots to finally tag it. 2 shots more than I would have liked but, that's the way the world turns.

Here is the video. 365y Shot

Jack (the cop) and I have both trained with Frank and Jacob. Their instruction had a lot to do with me being able to do this.

Hey Rick, what up?

You guys are now, officially, ready for the SnipersHide Cup.

And I can't think of a better use for water that costs almost a buck a bottle.

Good shooting! That's about the size of a ground squirrel and other small varmints that get popped pretty regularly. Nice...

I think you're ready for a varmint shooting trip!

Thanks guys.

Hey Graham, how are you?
Let me tell you, Jack has his stick at GA Precision getting work done to it and I have my AI, since we've both have had a REAL bad itch to head out to RO again.
Im having my knee replaced in Jan. from my little IED so for me it wont be for a while but I'll be out there again, just not soon enough.
