I have decided to take the Milk Jug Challenge. I have never done a video before so making a video with a spotting scope will be the most challenging aspect of this challenge.

You can attach your cell phone to a spotting scope to film long-range shooting, so I purchased a Gosky 20-60x80 Spotting Scope and Tripod, as shown below, a picture of the system I am using to film my challenge with an exploding milk jug photo on my cell phone because that is what I expect to see. cool

I will also do a video out to 800 yards later this summer. The target I will set up at 800 yards when I do that will be 25” x 25”. I will post that video as well. I look forward to seeing the groups I get @ 800 yards.

I will be shooting my Weatherby .300 Win Mag, topped with my Huskemaw Blue Diamond 5-20x50, the same scope the guide used. Ammunition, off-the-shelf Nosler Trophy Grade Accubond Long Range Cartridges in 190 gr.

Good luck to all who participate in this challenge.

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.
