Mikael and I had a little fun this weekend down in Star Texas at an event for veterans . We brought some S&S precision rifles down there for them to shoot at 1004 yards . Valhalla outdoors put this event on and it was pretty awesome.
Pics coming shortly.

OK I've got to ask - How/why did you come up with 1004 yards instead of 1000?
Silver spurs and gold tequila

Pretty girls and old cantinas

What caliber were you shooting? Mostly a 223 AI but Mikael did do a little bit of shooting with his 22-250 AI. We were able to get all the veterans on steel and hitting the pig at 1004. Hopefully Kyle will be posting the pictures on here for me shortly.

No , there was law enforcement and game wardens participating in this event. The game warden watched us for an hour before he finally couldn't take it and had to come over and shoot. What do you think
