I posted a target up with my BFR in .500 JRH - it's on the bragging board. Will stretch the range out next session. Haven't shot it in a while and it wore me out a bit. Gotta get used to the recoil again. Excellent shoot'n, Whit! But.....you don't get used to the recoil, you just cope with it.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Thanks, Kim!
I get used to it, just haven't shot it in ages..... I'll break out the .50 Alaskan or the .500 Max and then everything else is put into perspective -- LOL!

Does 50 yards from a field style rest seem fair? Put pictures in this post and include gun, ammo, sight, and rest info? I'm just trying to nail down a fixed set of parameters. No gun restrictions on this one other than it must be center fire?

I put up another couple of targets on the Bragging Board. I only had 15 rounds to work with (two different loads), and wish I had more with me, to tighten things up a bit. Will hopefully get the iron sighted .500 JRH Bisley out next week for some shooting.

Ok since Whitworth kicked this thing off at the 25 yard mark that is where the challenge will be. I'll try to get a group up this week. The guidelines I'll use are thus:
25 yards Field position (I'll probably use a field rest of some kind) Centerfire Handgun (one I'll hunt big game with this year) 5 shots on a paper plate

I'm doing 25 and 50 yards. My local range doesn't go out farther. Most of my shooting from here out will be at 50 yards.

Nice looking long sticks, what calibers? They have there own set of rules you have to follow to get good results, it aint just point and shoot. Thanks JB - a couple of rigs built by Steve Roe at Apache Machine - 6.5 Creedmoor on the L, 300 Win Mag on the R That winny is a shooter!!! I watched Dur put two on target at just over 1800 yards in June in a stiff wind. The only reason we didn't put more out is that we had wasted all our ammo plinking at 1200 earlier in the day. It's boringly accurate. We found the 2000 and 2500 yards plates after that. We are going to build a couple of really big ones and stretch them out next year

Just posted up a couple more targets I shot a little while ago again from the sitting position, but this time with a stock .44 Mag Bisley (with it's 10-lb trigger -- okay, I exaggerate as it's no more than 9 1/2-lbs) with iron sights.

Just uploaded a picture of a target I shot this morning with my .480 SRH. Five shots, 50 yards offhand, shooting 340 grain CEB solids at about 1,300 fps.

Just posted up a couple more targets shot with my Ruger Bisley in .44 Mag. I was testing a couple of Garrett .44 Mag loads. The accuracy is very good.

Hadn't had the trusty Bisley 45 Colt out for a while but I had to give her a go before go time. Standing and offhand @ 50, new load with a 250 Hornady in front of 24.5 grains of lil gun. My usual is 26 grains of H110 but am running out of that gold so I figured I better get a good backup. I think it will giterdun. Practice like you play ;-)
Rod, too.

Great shoot'n, Rod! We need to see some critters posted this year; that combo can make it happen.

Thanks guys. Bad news is I fired 6. If you look closely you can see where the last one nicked the plate edge at about 7:00 position. I knew it as I pressed the trigger. We have a week yet before they shut us down so gonna have time to tidy it up a bit.

Finally got a chance to get some handgun play with all the long range rifle distraction as of late... First target: 9" FA 357 Mag - 75 yards, sitting with tripod; 140 gr Barnes Second target: 7.5" FA 44 Mag - 75 yards, sitting with tripod; 240 gr XTP Called the low shot before I got back on target - that trigger is almost too light for hunting work...but it's oh so sweet!

Thanks for the compliments, but in this case, "it's the arrow, not the Indian".
Both of these guns were then stretched out to 150 on steel shortly thereafter.

Newbie here but I had to share this. Took the new Ruger SRH out this morning to get the scope dialed in that I just mounted last night and saw this post previously so I decided to see how well I could do with a 9" paper plate using a position I'd normally use in an actual hunting situation. It was only 90 yards, not 100, but here's how I did kneeling against a tree shooting off of my own home made shooting sticks.

Shot this group this morning with my .475 Linebaugh Bisley. Just sighted it in and shot this at 30 yards sitting -- pulled one..... Shooting 280 grain CEB Raptors. Hope to use this gun/bullet combination on a deer this year. Fixed the orientation of the picture twice on photobucket and it still shows it vertically......
