Zak Smith Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) [ link to LARGER image ] [ link to LARGER image ] And a couple AR's thrown in for good measure. Here's one of the targets we were shooting. It's a 17.5" wide by 29" high IPSC steel plate painted white with a green 8-10" circle in the middle. Who can mill it accurately?

TCK Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Its been WAAAAYYYY to long for me... Sharp looking rifles though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dunn Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Is that a Burris scope I see? How can you hold your head up at the range? Very nice collection, even nicer to think you actually shoot them. Where's the .50 AI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Smith Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 There's an IOR in there somewhere... The 50 AI is waiting for me to sell my VFR800 and Yost BHP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Assuming the big hashmarks are 1 mil and it is at the right magnification for the mils to be correct I'd guess .35 mil wide? 17.5/36=.486 yds .486x1000/.35 = 1388 yds How far is it?

Ok Ok I think your closer than me .... but what about the wind? can you see the wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Smith Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 We had up to about a 5mph "effective" wind (ie a half value dialed), though it was alternatingly gusting. -z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3quartertime Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Not sure what this 'Mil' thing is... I figured you'd just get a case or two of cold beer, about 6 or 8 guys and just keep shooting till someone hits it!!! Wait a minute, I think I've figured it out. Mil is just a slang term you fellas use for Old Milwaukee!!! So your trying to guess how many old 'Mil's it will take for someone to hit the target... Depending on the weather and munchies I'd say about 10 or 12 Mil's each. BTW...Nice looking collection of pea-shooters ya got there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Very nice!! If you ever get 'hitched' you'll only have to convert 2 or 3 of the of the boltguns into jewelry and you can keep all the AR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 1514 +/- 8 Zak, I'm not familiar with using the mil graduations in reticles, and there are darn few places in the northeast to allow 1500+ yards. But, did you use the scope for the ranging, or did you use a laser rangefinder? I've seen some posts here about the high end rangefinders, that's why I inquired. By the way, if it weren't for your red arrow, I never would have seen that target! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, if it weren't for your red arrow, I never would have seen that target! To range it, we used (1) GPS, and (2) verification by actual elevation used to hit target. Neither of the range-finders we had (mine a LRF1200 and his maybe a Burris) will range that far, even in ideal conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Religious Shooter Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) Wow. Milling at that range sucks. The target would be .486*1000/1514 => .321 mil wide. I was off by .35 - .321 = .029 mil. .029 mil error translates into a 1514 - 1388 = 126 yard error. I don't think I could have seen the dust that the errant rounds would kick up and wouldn't have been able to use it to adjust. I would have had to skip that target.
