I didn’t know any of the long range steel matches, PRS type matches, ever had at the very first stage for everyone (1st shot for everyone that day) was one cold bore shot at a smaller target (say 8”) at or beyond 1000 yards.
I imagine there would be a fairly good number of hits if it was at 1K, but once you start getting into the 1300 and 1400 yard distances, I would expect that hit ratio to go quite a bit lower.
I think it would be cool, but I would not expect the first attempt, completely cold bore for everyone would not have a high hit ratio. I’ve not encountered one at 1000, but 500-700 regularly

Also, Anyone who kills an animal at long range is usually firing a cold bore shot. If your rifle doesn’t put the cold bore shot in the group you fire, your barrel sucks JMHO 😁

The team took 69 shots the day they set the record, and their final shot miraculously hit the eight-inch center circle. So, CTC, how big is the 69 shot group?

I think they can do it in 68 shots if they just go to a 30 ft target.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego.

i kinda feel only the 1st shot should count as a record , Carlos Hathcock set records with his 1st shot against the enemy when he made the kill shot. really his records have not been beat when you count the 1st shot. > 69 shots that`s ridiculous !

Kind of a meaningless record. Any one of us could have done it with a good spotter.

Now with even more aplomb
