I have no clue what ‘Backfire’ is, nor who this Jim person is but he hasn’t been waiting on me. I’ve never made the claim that I could shoot like that but it doesn’t mean that nobody can. I have said many times here I am way more of a hunter than a shooter. I get bored very easily with paper or steel targets.
600 yards isn’t terribly far this day in age. There are a few people on this forum and elsewhere that I suspect could reliably make those shots but they’re generally the more modest and less talkative type.
I don’t know what to tell you dude, other than to keep an open mind about things.
T Inman; Good evening my friend, I hope the last week of the 3rd month has been behaving for you and you're well up there.
Since I do watch Jim on Backfire on occasion, I was aware of his challenge.
To be crystal clear, as I believe you know of me T, I don't yet own a laser range finder and while I do have a couple scopes that seem to dial fairly reliably, I really haven't spent the time learning to do it.
However as you said, that doesn't mean nobody can or that I believe no one should.
This young guide from Wyoming puts in a pretty fair showing with a stock Tikka and Hornady ammo.
Again as I said to Jordan, my participation is to encourage hunters who shoot near or far to go take a look once they shoot with whatever it is they're hunting with.
As always, I appreciate your input on subjects T as I know you've put in the time on the mountain - well on the flat lands too likely, but it's a BC saying maybe...
