Stick does sum up the advances and reason for in shooting over the last 10 rears. Laser Range Finders--- changed everything

Now if I can figure out he shoots more than one rifle at a time!

This entire thing is kinda of a DeJa vu.

When Stick was a Nobody he was invited to show his stuff to an all expense Match put on by Lowlight of Snipershide, about 10-15 years ago. He declined and as I recall said, "What do I need to prove, I can shoot anytime here I want."

This time Mr. Burns was invited to show his stuff at an expense paid shoot by a member of Campfire, and replied. "What do I need to prove, I can shoot anytime here I want".

We had gusts to 38 MPH.

It was a rough one but we had a lot of fun.

Fed cows, cleaned up some blown down trees, pulled the altenator from my pickup and had a couple beers with my brother who is flying back to Vegas right now.
Didn't make the shoot but at least I have a little better excuse than sleepy Sheridan.....laughin'

Nice shooting, John!

Yes John, that looks like very good shooting...so tell us, what caliber and load?

Just got back from Glasgow! Had a great time, met some great people, saw some amazing shooting! Conditions were terrible, but awesome shots were made by all. I want to personally thank Pat and his family for their kindness, hospitality, and for putting this shoot together. It was great to meet fellow members and learn a bit about doping wind. Another thank you to John Burns for the tips and advice. I'm very much looking forward to doing this again next year!

I know John will answer too...

It was a 264 Win Mag shooting the 140 VLD's. Very solid platform !

1790 yds with your iron-sighted .30-30? You'd have to wait for aircraft to clear before you could shoot or you'd hit one!

Nice shooting John!

I know you guys are sorry I couldn't make it, but I had just put a new ivory bead on my 30-30, and the glue wasn't dry yet. Sorry; maybe next time.
Nice shooting, John.

jeff: John had the Zeiss RF bins,doped the wind(he and my rancher pal agreed on the vels and IIRC they called it at 10 mph....we were shooting John's 264WM and 140 Berger.

John made all the calculations and scope adjustments and all I did was shoot.Both my friend and I were able to hit once the wind was doped correctly.

I do not recall how many minutes off we held at that distance as I had never before shot that far,nor used that style of scope.But I was astonished just how far off you had to hold to hit.

My impression was that doping the conditions was far more difficult than squeezing the trigger (the easy part).I can understand why many LR shooters work in teams.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Brokedick Delusional Dreaming,consumes more than a few and folks reliably think about me with a much greater frequency,than they shoot live rounds. Fortunately for them,Imagination,Pretend and Emoji's are free,so even they can "afford" to "contribute",as they "live" vicariously and desperately try to attach in some form,to no avail. Hint.

We have seen your house. Please stop calling everyone broke and referencing "AFFORD" it's just sad. Maybe change it to not everyone has the same priorities! Cause if I lived in a shït box I could have a really nice artillery piece. Hint.

WORLD CLASS WARES!!!! Then shows his Anderson Lower!

Ladies,

Fortunately for you,Imagination,Pretend and Emoji's are free,as you fixate me,to escape suffering being you. I barely have dozens and dozens and dozens of lowers,none of which makes a flying fhuqk,other than shopping fire control groups,in relation to pin sizing. Hint.
