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

WTF would I want to take photos for ? I'm out there to collect meat, not try to impress idiots on the internet with in the field hero pics.

Sounds like a blast lmao.
That'd get old in about 5 minutes.[/quote] Leave your crutches {bench, rests, bi pods} out of it and 100 yards is plenty for offhand practice. Much more relevant to success in these woods where you'll seldom get a shot farther than that. I don't consider somebody a good shot if they need a rest to hit anything and that covers 99% of the people I see at the range. You can't pry their asses away from the bench because they know they can't hit anything without it.

What this little retard is saying is that pretty much anybody can shoot good from a solid rest given the proper equipment. I don't disagree.

BlackTart would need a fhuqking co-signer for the muzzle tape alone. Hint.

Fortunately for her,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even she can "afford" to "contribute" by DREAMING aloud. Hint.

She has NEVER even "seen" Good Riggin',let alone shot same and her Brokedicktitude precludes an opportunity to do so. Hint.

Typical "slow" day yesterday. Hint.



Fhuqking LAUGHING!................

Any further comment regarding that 10Mi/day tracking job?

That's too much spotter weight on that tripod for good video. You're going to want either a better tripod, or, you're going to have to have a very solid surface, hang significant weight off the center hook, and have that tripod in it's shortest position, which will then require a shooting spot that allows for video to work with the tripod that low.

If you've got a place where you can shoot prone but have the spotter/tripod above you on a cement-top bench table or the like it might work OK so long as there's not a lot of wind to wiggle the optic.

Thanks for the heads-up horse1.

I have never owned or even used a spotting scope or tripod since I do not hunt sheep.

I bought this one because of the price $200.00 CDN, knowing full well at the price it was far from the best. The Tripod cost me $60.00 and had many great reviews. I didn't want to spend lots because all I will use it for after making the video is to check out ladies suntanning in a bikini on our lake

The tripod seems pretty sturdy, but I understand what you are saying. How much weight would you use to anchor it?

If I keep it low and un-extended, maybe that will work best? This is it un-extended.

Ten miles is just a guess and probably on the conservative side.

No dog in this fight but 10 miles a day isn’t uncommon, especially when they are zigging and zagging and running between doe groups. They are bastards that way

Get a 35 lb dumbell

This was hard to watch. My first impression is that this is click-bait and the Backfire channel is just at it to cash in. Secondly, these guys don't know what they don't know and have no business killing animals beyond about 200 yards; even the "guide".

Some realistic observations:

One won't take 100 shots in a sitting in an actual hunt. One can say you shoot 100 yards in a day or two at a match, but that isn't done with a .300 Winchester Magnum. Recoil causes fatigue.

The lightweight hunting barrels being used will have wandering point of impact after two to three rounds, but the "challenge" requires repeated shots.

Second, the "realistic hunting situations" doesn't account for the hunter can be confident in his shot or he has the option to not take it.

Third, most of the rifles and optics are not capable rifles for the situations presented. Custom rifles and better optics are paramount for "long range hunting".

The ammunition being used is not consistent enough for "long range hunting". I don't recall seeing anything but box-fodder.

Milk jugs on or near the ground are harder to range than an actual animal.

Animals create for fluid situations.

The zone of a lethal shot is larger than a milk jug; many of the near misses would lead to fatal shots.

None of the shooters were using support effectively.

At the end of the day, this is a poor representation of actual people that hunt and practice at range.

I suppose at the end of the day, the shooting is representative of the average person captivated by "Backfire TV".

I would be pretty happy if I could lay across my pack with my kimber montana 6.5 cm make a first shot hit on a milk jug at 500 yds. Never tried it.

I'd be peeved if I couldn't, assuming atmospherics were such that I'd be inclined to shoot an antelope, deer, etc @ that distance. Varmints don't count.

That's the real rub for me on the whole deal. Anything that I hunt big-game with recoils enough that I wouldn't want to shoot it 50 times in a day, let alone 100. Even an 8#-9# 243Win/6Creed would get to be a great plenty as you closed in on 50 rounds.

My milk gallon jugs are only 6” wide. Not sure if they vary in size in different regions.

Aim at the center and you have 3” of wiggle room on either side. On a first shot scenario, it would be tough to account for any wind, less than solid rest, and normal group dispersion at 500 yds. But my mountain rifle is only .75 on a good day so I am sure someone smarter than I can tell me if it’s even possible to make consistent hits with a .75” rifle at 500 yds.

That Marine in the challenge, was guaranteed to fail after his first shot. He scopes himself on the first shot and is bleeding like s stuck pig, man did I laugh! Yep a real expert.

100 shots with a .300 Win Mag without a Muzzle Break, ya right. Also, he did not have a backrest for his stock, red flags everywhere!

I am doing the challenge with my .300 Win Mag, I don't have a muzzle break on it so I will not be taking back-to-back shots, without taking a break. In real-life hunting situations, it's 1 and done.

I didn't see the 100 rounds in a day as something intended to be a hunting simulation. I saw it as a test of the shooter's ability in various field conditions.

But yeah, 100 rounds of 300WinMag, sporter weight rifle, no brake, no rear bag, getting scoped on the first shot, and a 100 yard zero, that was not........what could possibly go wrong (grin).

You aren't really testing their ability is my biggest gripe. The barrel is going to be hot causing flyers, the barrel is going to likely have major fouling which degrades accuracy, and the shooter is going to become recoil shy. You're right, what could go wrong?

All true. And the shooter chose the rifle knowing what the course of fire would consist of. That in itself tells a lot.
