Normally I just shoot on calm days when I shoot long range well today I decided to make myself a better shooter. I went out to 287yds and proceeded to shoot at my 5in wide 1/4in aluminum swinging square tube.
Took me about 3 shots to get my hold over then just sized my target with my reticle made a 4.5moa scope adjustment took my shot....just right...took my second shoot bam! I continued to shoot for awhile as the wind changed direction and speed. All in all I was having great shots. Just kinda exciting to me so I thought I'd post for others..

Oh btw I'm shooting a Savage Mark II TR .22lr with a Vortex Crossfire 6-24 x50 with a DIP 25moa base
