Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Milk jug challenge, by Backfire YT Channel

I think this Challenge will have some legs and be a good thing.

What was a bit amazing was how each of those guys could not accept they did not perform very well.

are you seeing a lot of poi shift depending on shooting posisition? Say you site in off the bench. Then shoot off a bipod prone?

I noticed that too.

Somehow I’m not suprised

Cortina's 500 yard KYl Blackjack challenge is much more interesting.

I've never personally seen anybody shoot at game from a prone position in my life and I've seen a lot of game killed by a lot of people. Varmints yes but game never.

I shoot from the prone position for the majority of big game animals I hunt-Actually used a rifle here.

These are all older videos (So far away from professional), but prone is very common for me.

That answers you bagging on LR hunters, kinda hard to shoot prone with a bow or in the brush.

Because you've shot w/ me.

No, wait... never mind.

I wouldn't consider someone a good game shot if they couldn't at least consistently hit milk jugs off hand from 100 yards.

You keep moving the goal posts to fit your narrative.
You obviously never have been around LR shooting at all

LOL. Obviously you wouldn't qualify under my criteria of a good game shot for our hunting conditions here. The trouble with you Westerners is that you think the world revolves around you and your conditions when it comes to hunting.

I am not responsible or bound to anyone's criteria/definitions on the positions I shoot from, the time it takes me to shoot, or the distances.

Feel free to enjoy your own limits.

Petty or demeaning insults always moves people to change their views to adopt the ones of those doing the demeaning


I always try to get as good as a supported foundation as I can get, which typically means get lower or closer to the ground.
With good tripods today, seated, double kneeling, and standing can be a very steady set-up.


After a birthday party, I decided to shoot at a unsuspecting rock at just over 500 yards (Rock was approximately 2 MOA in size) with a couple of other guys. My very first shot (Cold Bore) was about 2" low from the aiming point, my wind call was spot on.

If you were tying to get the best, steadiest foundation possible, you'd be using rifles with butt stocks instead of those hideous, sawed off contraptions you're using.

I understand that you seem to enjoy to demean others or somehow make them less with your words...Maybe you should give up your school yard tactics or not.
I'm sure if you just keep on engaging the way you have been here, everyone one who disagrees with you will come around to your way of thinking.

I do shoot rifles every now and again. I actually own rifles.
20 shots at 800 yards-With a rifle. i originally posted 600, but since the pic wouldn't load, I went back to put a new one on IMGUR, and saved it and it was 800 yards.

On that same day there were two guys (who I know) who were shooting a 338 Lapua Improved at the furthest steel target that Chuck has at his range (2073 yards).
When Dan and I quit shooting my 284 Winchester rifle, they wanted me to shoot the 338.
They already had the vertical figured out, but of course wind is always changing (Still great conditions that day-Kind of obvious from my 20 round group).
They had put three hits on the steel between the two of them
They were taking forever to fire a shot after the previous one.
When I got set-up on the rifle, I fired my first shot, and it was off the left side a little bit (They had been shooting it already so the wind correction was close). It has been to long ago to remember exactly how many MOA, but I saw the impact through the scope, made an immediate correction, cycling the bolt as fast I could and put two more shots down range. The two hits at 10 and a 1 just above the white bull were my shots.
They were shocked why I shot my last two shots so quickly. I explained I wanted all of my shots to be in the same condition. They were kinds of new to distance at that time, and really hadn't thought about it that way


I am not the best, and don't claim to be, but I shoot okay with my specialty pistols...Many of which are Remington XP-100's (They came out in the early 60's).

So, you are upset that I can shoot good without a buttstock? That's funny!
So, now you are berating someone who can shoot good, because it is different than you or it doesn't look good to you or you can't do it yourself?
I shoot and hunt the way I want, because I can and I enjoy it-It's fun!

Head this way and I will let you shoot some of my specialty pistols.
Once you get some basic fundamentals down, you may even surprise yourself what you can do at distance.
I will take you out to Mac's...About 15-20 minute drive south of Gillette.

What you're doing is constantly grandstanding and the fact that you're filming your hunts/shooting proves that beyond a doubt. I've never hunted with anybody who carries a camera afield, much less a video camera. I have photos of some of the game I've killed over the years and every one was taken after getting back to camp or home. I refuse to carry a camera around on a hunt. I have no interest in packing around a stockless rifle either.

Yes, I have filmed a few of them...Beyond a shadow of a doubt
People want proof that guys who hunt at distance shoot from the prone.
It is quite common around here.
Someone gives proof...Oh you are grandstanding Ha! You gotta love it!
It is quite evident, even when someone responds to a comment with evidence, you will find a way to tear it down or attempt to negate it.

Never hunted with anyone who had a camera with them...Does your phone have a camera or video in it???

Even though you are irritating, I have more pity for you than anything else.
If this is your public posture, I don't even want to know how dark your heart is.
I hope your day is much better than your words.
