Hey guys and gals wanted to give my props to CKA for my day at the range so here ya go.
First off, Jay treated me like I was a best buddy. (Only way I can describe it) he did not talk down to me just because he knows more about shooting than I do.... once I got up and running (ie warming up his steel) he gave me hell when I missed (like a buddy would) and would correct my observed mistakes.
My common miss was high left (caused by trigger slap) was fixed.. I shot very well for me when I got locked in. It took a whole can of SH SLAP OFF and a good swift kick in the ass for me to quit slapping the boom lever!
We shot prone, positional, timed stress postional. I learned a few tricks and applied them to making me a better marksman. By the end of the day I was locked in (and sore as hell). 325 total round count of .308
Conditions were windy as hell 10-20 all day, but I am actually thankful for that as I learned to make better calls and holdoffs because of it!
Equipment: .308 rem 700 sps trued in AICS CHASSIS. Nightforce NXS 5.5X22.
Handloads. TBAC 30P SUPPRESSOR.
And now for the finale......the golfball shot!
Wind required 3 moa left wind , 23.75 moa comeup for 760 yrd shot.
Jay on the spotter "send it". Boom. "Holy shit" Jay exclaimed "you just cold bored a golf ball @ 760 yards". I saw the ball skip off the dirt mound through my scope and almost shit myself!! We drove down and sure enough I grazed the side of it! (I knew I should have used BUTTER FLAVORED WINDCHEATER)
Anyways, one of my best days as a shooter......a little lucky too!
Thanks Jay for your time and making a friend for life!
