Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 24HC MOA All Day Long Challenge

Thanks.

Trying to shoot two ten shot groups from prone takes more concentration than I possess.

I'll keep working the fundamentals and shoot this again as it was a lot of fun, a huge challenge and certainly has made me a better shooter.

Looks like you are already a great shooter. You are right though, 2 good 10 shot groups on the same paper takes a lot of concentration. At least for me it does. I think this is why guys like TWR and Formid stress the 10 shot groups. Besides, we see guys posting tiny 3 shot groups and most of us here think to ourselves damn it's easy to shoot 3 good shots, show us some more. Like one of my good friends used to tell me, it's not a group until you shoot at least 5 shots.. Anyone can get lucky and shoot a sub 1/2 moa 3 shot group on occasion.. Also, shooting from prone with the bipod is just like any other type of rest. Learn to use it properly and you can shoot some mighty fine groups that way.

I have a question for you guys.





What are the odds that the best State in the Nation has 4 shooters in the top 5?

I mean, we all know the Montana boys are gonna show up SOME day with something other than 5 shot groups (cough, cough, Pat, cough).

I hear the Texas crew is busy milking bulls.

Colorado guys trimming weed this time of year, so I get it.

Alaskans huffing gasoline until the next shipment from Colorado gets there?

Has there been 5 shooters yet? We are 11 pages in, 4,906 views and lucky if we've had 5 legitimate entries. I'm talking 2 10 shot groups (yes, all on the same paper), and rules followed as outlined in the OP... There's a whole hell of a lot of "1/2 moa" rifles in the hunting rifle forums. Oh wait, that's when they "do their part"..

I need to shoot this challenge with my new "Redneck" built 7mm Mashburn Super Mag, the fireform loads with 76 gr of H-1000 are pushing the 160 AB's to 3225 fps and bugholes BSA, it's to accurate to blow away, I'm going to hunt those loads too.

Let me re-phrase that, it's shot a couple three or four 3 shot groups into bugholes.

Will be interesting too see what that 8 twist Bartlein will do heating up with 10 rounds.

Either a lot of guys get too worked up over barrels heating, they don't have their rifles properly bedded and tuned or I'm just one lucky sob.. Most all of my rifles will group 10 shots into 1.5 moa, even the fwt's..

I'll find out, have never fired 10 shot groups, ceptin in 22LR or pistola.

I was exercising my math skills again.

Was thinking Cert and his 12 brothers all showed up for the big wing ding.

Ha ha.. I know at least one of his brothers did. However, I don't think Fiddy shot yet...

Not even in my dreams would I have guessed the ‘fire would tolerate 3 CA boys and a rogue Oregonian to shoot this gig unchallenged!?

There was lots of participation on the black rifle version of same.. why is this one dead ?
Gunner.. looks like it’s up to you!

BSA.. Fiddy has not, but I got another brother who plans on putting cooper #3 on the podium...
We shall see

LOL, I need to get shooting both courses, trouble is, there's a monster white tail buck up behind my range, would hate like hell to run him too the next state, I sent BSA a pic of that pig, gotta be a 190.

Dammit Hig, I'm crying I'm laughing so hard!

Coulda swore robertham posted up groups.

Damnit, where's wareagle700 for the official scores?

Serena would have gone ape by this point.....

I haven’t shot it yet, but I do intend to. Hopefully Tuesday. I’d post a couple back to back 5 shot groups but I’d hate to be on the receiving end of one of higs jokes tonight. He’s on fire.

Hig.. please keep jokes such as these in the Black Rifle Challenge thread.;)
If you’ll recall.. the obvious flyer in my groups (which was shot #20) almost made me smash my cooper on the ground in protest. Almost.

Gunner..post your groups with a pic of that perforated buck in the foreground and you’ll be granted 1/2” leniency from the judges
