When I shot FTR long range at Winnequah Gun Club they had a 1200 yard firing line setup just for fun. It was not part of the course of fire for state or national champ tournaments.
Winnequah Gun Club is in WI though, the guys in western states have an advantage where greater distance is possible.
I would say the answer would vary with the different disciplines. it's discipline takes its own unique set of skills. Benchrest , F class silhouette, PRC , the granted the same people can usually Excel when they change over to a different discipline great example is David Tubbs. a lot of people or maybe most people know the name through the camp Perry shooting with the man also dominated the silhouette game for many years..
Most accomplished LR shooter in history, and it ain't even remotely close.
and one of the nicest class acts you'll ever get beat by .. lol
why don't you fuggers organize a "Campfire Shootoff" ???... should be fun... that is, if ya don't get ta fightin'... hell, maybe thad' be more fun!...
Oh yea! Like a postal match where you have a trusted witness and post up results.
There will be a bunch of "lying liars" and stupid gif images along with massive character assassination posts from a couple esteemed "members".
I had thrown out the idea of a Campfire Olympics about 14-15 years ago. shooting, archery among other things, and a boxing ring lol.

I've shot Snakes match 9 times. I remember seeing you there a couple of times. I usually hung around the Colorado crowd (don't hold that against me though).

FYI, David Tubbs attended one of Whittington Centerโs Sporting Rifle Matches years ago
He did not win

The younger guys at the top in the PRS and practical rifle match game now are so good itโs unbelievable. The scores that we were shooting years ago and winning wouldnโt place in the top 20 now.
If you want to know who the best long range shooters are, look there.

Along with Perry, Tubb won 20 Silhouette titles, maybe not all LR, but Wigger won 2 gold medals, 1 bronze, 91 national championships, 27 world championships, and once held 29 world records. Who can top that with a rifle? Kim Rhode has to be up there with a shotgun.
I've posted this before, but I'll put it up again. I have went head to head, or rubbed elbows with the best (mostly silhouette shooters) Wigger, Tubb, O'Neil, Sanchez, Lopez, Flint, Mullins, to name a few. Most are very low key. Point being it's different than being an internet key pounding blowhard, that when pressed can't come up with one thing that signifies he's even shot one match.
If there was a field of say 25 shooters, worn out old men (much like myself), old ladies, and kids just out of square pants, that Sticky shot against, he would be lucky to place 15th let alone going against the best here.
Nancy and Sherry Tompkins will beat any man here.....or wherever! Most don't even know the names!!

The question is who is the best long range shooter on the fire
The people you reference donโt post here.
Even if they did, the question of โbest long range shooterโ is generic.
So a guy who shoots a 20 pound rifle from adjustable rests and is allowed multiple โsightersโ who wins shoots in his discipline is a better Long Range Shooter than a competitor who is on the clock, finding, ranging, and shooting targets out to 1200 yards from field positions, taking rests from boulders, tree limbs, Standing , kneeling, sitting, off of props, gates and logs, with only one attempt at each target?
I laugh in your general direction

I wouldn't have a clue who would be the best long range shooter on the fire. Who would you say it was? I have noticed that you post your scores from time to time from the monthly DNGC matches. I also noticed that you didn't do very well with the Decembers match, and I haven't seen you post any results with a rifle. Back to you.
