Thread: The dinner plate challenge

We had a go at a "challenge" simulating this sort of thing at our range the other day. I rigged up a deer target with a 150mm gong in the vital spot. We went back to 571M. Pretty much what Eric Cortina calls his ethical hunter challenge.

You ought to have seen the guys faces as I read the course of fire "only your first shot counts, no shooting other gongs till you've done your cold bore shot on this target". We did give them two just to improve morale. Wind was about one MOA value. Two shooters (out of 8) made it on the first shot, me included although the mental pressure on me was a good deal less because I fully understood the structure of it. Both sucessfull shots made with 6mm CMs haha.
