1011 yard shot

[hunterspaces]

Saw a guy on a hunting show drop an antelope at 1011 yards. What type of gun would drop that?

its not the rifle, its meticulous work to work out the trajectory and practice at doping wind. Once you get the rifle set-up for shooting long range and study ballistics and the proper way to hit targets at long range its not that diffacult. here's a couple of my LR rigs

RR-

That Allen Magnum is a pretty sweet rig. Does it kick a lot??

Just saw the clip. It was www.thompsonlongrange.com that did it, but they never said what kind of rifle they were using.

I would use my Ruger Blackhawk in 45 LC. Good out to 1600 yards or so. Only a 1000 on Elk.

Some guys filmed thier doe hunt at the ranch I work at this past fall. One of the does was shot at 800 yards in the head with a 300 RUM. Coolest thing about the video is that you can see vapor trails on most of the shots.

The thing thatbothers me about all these filmed hunting shows with their long shots is that they never show the ones that are horribly crippled to crawl off to die.

Jeep the recoil of the AM is almost non-existant, I watch the bullet impact through the scope everytime at 700 yds, if my 8 yo daughter wasn't intimidated by the report I'd let her shoot it. Its more than my AR but not by much

Though I am very impressed by long range shots on game, it is just shooting and can't be considered "hunting".
