Most people love the idea of 1000yds but don’t have a place they can do it. There are plenty of people who do, but I can’t tell you how many people I’ve talked to that sing the praises of their 1000 yard rifles but have only ever shot it at 100.Originally Posted by CodySPowell

Right. I've got 100yds down pretty good I think. Luckily I have places that will accommodate over a 1,000. I'd like to dink around with my AR at 200, 400, 600yds. I think it would be fun.

It is fun stretching out to see how well you and the rifle can do. Its the best way to learn your gun. I use to make shots with my pistols that most said you couldn't do with a pistol. For instance i was told you can't hit a 12x12 inch steel plate at 100 yards with a 22 pistol. Proved them wrong on multiple occasions.

Nice! I always attempt to hit my steel plates at 100yds with pistols. I don't smack the steel very often but it's possible. Especially with a real hot .357 mag load out of my model 66. [emoji16]

Now I haven't done it in years but I had gotten good enough back then to hit it every time. A cpl of us even loaded shot in our 45 lc's and shot a few skeet. Now that is tough and no I couldn't hit every one. We made a stand within axe head that held a skeet on either side and split a 22 to break both. We had a blast.

Unfortunately I got smart and married my first wife. She blew all the money leaving me not being able to afford to shoot. So now once I'm able to shoot again I'm gonna get back to shooting more. My wife has no problem with me buying the things i need to shoot. As long as the bills get paid I'm good to go.

I've been shooting for 30+ years and reloading for about 2 years now. I went through a real bad time with drugs and alcohol and came close to losing everything including my guns. I was fortunate enough to have a person keep my guns for me while I was homeless otherwise I would have sold them to feed my addiction. Shooting has always been fun/therapy for me and reloading is just as sweet. Can't wait for you to get back in the saddle again and get the much deserved trigger time! [emoji16]

Thanks me too. I'm glad you got straightened out. I got to the surgeon Tuesday and he's gonna order the MRI. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll get the surgery done. Then 6 months of recovery and physical therapy.

Thank you! It's been one helluva journey. December 4th I'll have 4 years clean. I hope they can get you back on the trigger quick!
