Well!
This Ought to make somebody mad!
List your Longest Long Range Shot?
Ya!
You're gonna have to Post the Yardage or Approx Yardage!
I'll start it off!
I don't have the Exact Yardage!
Somewhere around 600-700 Yards!
I don't start Ranging Yardage till I'm out past 1,000 Yards!
And this was 20 years before I'd ever heard of a Rangefinder anyway!
Anyways!
A Practice you should never Try/Do!
This was nearly 30 years ago & not a Soul around nowhere!
I'd heard & Read a Slug could travel over a Mile when I was Younger but had always Doubted it!
Found out I was very Wrong!
Anyways!
A Friend decided We'd Blow some balloons up & drop them in to the river feeding the Lake!
When they got out there a long ways we'd see if we could hit them!
DO NOT PRACTICE THIS!
We were Young & Real Dumb!
My Friend Sets the Spotter up!(High Tech Bushnell!)
I'm shooting at the Balloons!
And I'm gonna tell you a Slug will travel a Long Damn ways!
Especially Skippin across the Top of the water!
In Fact the Slugs were Skippin clear across the Lake!
After a couple Shots & not hitting the Balloons My Friend yells:
SOB!
A Direct Hit!
Lookin through My Scope I can still see all the Ballooons & I'm thinking WTF?
My Friend says You got Him!
I'm going What?
Stop Shooting He says!
We Hiked clear around the other side of the Lake to retrieve a Rabbit that He seen me Hit through the Spotter after the Slug bounced across the Water who knows how many times?
Very UN-ETHICAL I Know!
What's really gonna make somebody Mad is I made the Shot with my RUGER 100/22!
***NOTE: DO NOT SHOOT 22's or High Powered Rifles across Water!
Who the Hell knows where the Slug might end up!
We were Young & Dumb!
Ya!
I know somebody's gonna Say I Still am!
I do believe that to be my Longest Long Range Shot with a 22!
