My Sons First 1 mile target shoot.


He hit the X-Ring Once... It's 17.600

Out of 13 shots he hit the target 5 times. I also hit the target on the second high power shoot. He used my weapon, for that.

The target size is 44'' by 48''
The trouble is I only hit it 4 times. But it was a very good day.

Sat Cong, details? Gun,cartridge, scope, load dope, weather? And good shooting.

The gun was Savage 300 Win Mag, target rifle from about 1995. He used a 208 grain A-max, through a 26'' barrel. I think the scope was a Sightron SIII SS 10-50x60 Side Focus Long Range Riflescope. He also had a 20MOA mount. It was in the high 60's to low 70's. The wind was from 3.5 up to 6.9 mph.

Definitely something to be proud of! How old is the shooter? I have my boys now out to 500 with a 308, they are still little guys so the rifle fit is a challenge.

Thank you. Yes, my better half and myself are very proud of the man he turn out to be. Now he is out shooting the old man at the real long range. It don't get any better then that.
