It's more fun pulling the trigger than pulling the bullet.

Priceless! Nice vids. Thanks for sharing

I love it!

"That's a hit." "Yep, that's a hit." [pause] Ding!

How big is the plate?

Dang that is superb equip - very jealous.

The bullet takes about 1.4 seconds to get to the target, and the impact report takes another 2.6 seconds to get back to us.

On the close target (340), you can see I've already racked the bolt and am preparing for the next shot by the time you can hear it.

Nice demmonstration.
It would have been interesting to see the size of your targets and where your hits were in relation to center of the target.

 

[Zak Smith]

The 980-yard target was a full IPSC made of AR500 steel. The one at 340 was approx 7x9".

Xlnt!

There's not enough of this type of material available. Very nice vids.

 

[Zak Smith]

We'll be making a lot more video from now on.

 

[MarkShot]

Very nice videos...and a LOT of data to chew on at that website. I was considering a .223 rifle to get into marksman shooting...but I'm considering a .308 now.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

Thanks Zak!

 

[FirstFreedom]

We'll be making a lot more video from now on.

I have to say, I'm glad to hear that. Hopefully, it will evolve into two simultaneous cameras - one on the shooter, and one on the target.

 

[ostrobothnian]

wow!

I do believe those are the baddest ass videos I have ever seen. "ding"!

 

[Zak Smith]

FF,

We're working on that too. I doubt if a video camera will be able to zoom enough to discern the far targets, but I bet we can make it work for intermediate ones.
