One of my best groups I've ever shot was with my custom made .284 Winchester chambered pre 72 Sako well under a inch 10 shot group at 100 yards .
A quick young fella I was fortunate enough to meet and become a friend of Tom Fry from Billings Mt he was quite the marksman and worked for Remington back then what a great man !

That is impressive, thanks !

My eyes are no where near as good as they once where...

I don't have anything that is impressive. I did shoot the white buffalo target (1123 yards) at the NRA Whittington Center with 2 of my 6.5creedmoors. I have also shot a 18"x18" steel plate at 1400 yards with a 6.5creedmoor.

For shotgun stuff; Over the course of a few ATA trap shoots I only missed 2 singles targets out of 800.
During trap league one time I shot 25 out of 25 from the 27 yard line shooting left handed when I am normally a right handed shooter.

You guys wouldn't believe me if I told ya, so I'll keep quiet!

Best group ever was a <.1" for 3 shots at 100 yards with my .220 Swift. Looked like one 6mm bullet hole. That was a case of my zigs compensating for my zags. But that gun will shoot 5-shot groups at 100 in the .3's with somewhat boring regularity. Shot a 500m 3 shot group with it that was slightly under 2"

Daughter has a .308 Win that will go .25" to .3" for 3 shots at 100 with a load I worked up for her. This gun is just a freak of nature (deer rifle) and I told her if she EVER thought of selling it................. I GET IT !!!!!!!!

Best shot I ever made on a critter target was 486 of my steps (I take about a 38"-39" stride) on a small, young groundhog with a Model 70 in .300 Win Mag. This was eons before affordable laser rangefinders. I actually shot it when it was on all fours.......but too far back and it started to drag itself toward the fence line. So, I shot it again, hitting it in the front quarters.

Like the old saying goes...............

"The first liar don't stand a chance".

Pete, maybe it just me, but before I had that rifle built I had 2 custom built 7mm's, both had lilja 9 twist barrels, both would shoot 3/8's at 100 yards, both would run 160's at above 3300 fps, at 750 yards one would shoot 2-4" groups on average, the other would not break 6" on average. the only difference was the 2-4" rifle weighs 14# the 6" one weighs 8, I have taken a handful of deer with the heavy rifle beyond 1K, one at 1350 yards. for me weight makes a difference.

weight can definitely make a difference in steady

and BTW it took me 26 years of spending money and thousands of rounds down range before I would attempt a shot on a deer beyond 500 yards, have since taught around 20 folks from jr. high students to collage girls to old hunters who just didn't understand ballistics how it can be done if you put time and effort into it.

You just have to be into it with your mind set.I was heavy into skeet shooting for years.Was shooting 1,000 rounds per week.Nice job on those shots.

Way better to teach them to become "hunters" than "shooters".

there is room for shooters and hunters

it would probably do a lot of people good to learn technical shooting first , then learn to hunt

not so they can take 500+ yard shots but to teach them solid marksmanship and form the habits and muscle memory first.

A running coyote at 68 yards with a revolver!

Still trying different ammo.... 17 cal CZ 455 with Scope ....50 yaahd bench

When I was about 16 I was shooting clay pigeons from a hand thrower out of the air with my 22 lever action mossberg

Best shots on game was probably a heart shot on a running bear at 340 yards with the 30 06 savage 110.
Another memorable one was at a bear running straight away from me at about 150 yards.Put a silvertip right up his arse and into his vitals with my 30 06 remington 7600.

My best shot was a running coyote going up a hill at 375 yards in the back of the head with a Sako .223
