Was testing a new barrel and got lucky with this Boone and Crockett fly. Hope elk turns out this good as that fly scores well into the all time book.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb428/GreybullPrecision/Ar-15/DSC00529_zps41bf7e5a.jpg) I guess the 5.56/.223 is a little light for flys as he was still alive when I got to him but never made more than a few inches.

You mean it over-penetrated and still didn't kill the fly DRT? Y'all have some tough flies out there!  Good thing it didn't charge you when you checked the target. Ed

Nice.
I'm interested in the Wyoming Arms rail you have on that AR and the rifle itself.
I'd like to hear some more about it.

Shot placement is everything! Looks like you might have just "winged" him with the first round. 
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

When you get a lizard at 620 I will be impressed  It is true you can gather more flies with honey, but a possum carcass right by your target beats honey. I assume that was a free range fly, around here we mostly bait em into the targets.

How many points is that thing? Looks like a 10 pointer from here.

Do they score the skulls or the wing spread on flies?
Is there a mandatory drying period before he can be measured?
Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

Crypes anybody can shoot a sitting fly. It ain't very sporting if you ain't shootin' em on the wing.

You'll hate those 1/3 MOA scopes when you start trying to shoot flies a little further out there junior..
