onlysmith&wesson THF Trophy Hunter Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 7,624 Lewisville/Briscoe County	Originally Posted by RJH1 The challenge is not a cold bore shot, for any of y'all who haven't watched the videos. You get 10 shots to make a hit on the one MOA Target, and any leftover shots you can try to hit a half MOA Target. The fewer shots used the higher points you get. You win a medal it's just for fun I think there's a new deal for the guy who does the best that day gets to shoot a 10 shot group and see how well it is for maybe another metal or something You've watched most of the episodes. What brand of optic is most often used? An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

My Tikka could earn a silver, as long as it's sunny enough to see splashes like in the video. Gold is a next level shot, and half moa at that distance is sporty. The half moa would be easier with a Bartlein or other high end barrel and a shooter with A+ wind reading. I did clean all 4 TYL targets at 800 yards at the rifle challenge at JG's years ago. I remember biggest was 2 moa, smallest was 1/2 moa. Can't remember if the 2 in the middle were 1.5moa and 1moa or 1moa and 3/4moa. But 1 or 2 other folks cleaned it too - I wasn't alone. Maybe Judd?

I am not sure if that was me or not, pat07...I think I only shot the prs August hotter than hell match at Jason's and the rest of them I just spotted and scored to help him.
