Fantastic Bob. We are all rooting for you!

Heck of a shot. Next time you just have to back away slowly, 19 times (for a man of your build)

Bob, that's so funny. Today the boys and I went shooting at the river and the farthest clear cut target we could range and use to see our hits was at 181 yards. Exactly the yardage your picture shows. How crazy is that?
The rock I was shooting was about the size of a baseball, right on the river's edge sitting right below a steep, loamy shoreline where I could see my misses. If I shot low, I hit the river, high, right or left I could see the loamy soil explode. After I shot a few shots, I realized that my dope on the turret tape was off past 150 yards. I had validated all of the ranges out to 150 yards but not beyond because I hadn't shot that far in a while. What surprised me was that the drop at the yardages between 150 and 180 yards wasn't anywhere nearly as much as I had calculated. I actually used fewer clicks on my turret! And, most importantly, I had the luxury of multiple shots at my target, I didn't have to worry about the rock flying away!
My slug liner still hasn't arrived for the 700mm Impact, so I was using the 33.95 MKII's at 925-930fps. I had plenty of hits once I got the gun dialed and figured the correct dope. Plenty of misses too! It was a ton of fun. I haven't had a chance to get out in the National Forest where I can shoot past 150 yards lately. It got me all excited again, hopefully my slug liner will get here soon so I can continue my slug testing and do more long distance shooting. Have a good one my friend!

Well, the shooting sports takes lots and lots of practice. No matter the discipline. You seem to be that man.

This was the farthest I could get from the silo at this farm. I can get to 200 if I go into the feeding area but have to deal with the cows.
I might give it a try next time.

Thanks Dale!
So little room for error at these ranges. Everything needs to come together for a hit. Having the right slugs is crucial. Thank you for keeping me supplied!

Sniper Bob_O ! 
Cow are one curious dumb animal.
I was just about to take a shot off the corner of the barn at the dairy farm the other day and felt my gun move...looked over my scope and a young one was licking my LDC !
Have to always be aware when there close! Lol.

Pictures work but the videos tell the whole story. I really love watching, even the short videos like this one. I noticed the nice editing in the beginning too. Very cool!

Thanks Kevin.
I make these short videos for Instagram, which has a cap of 60 seconds, but I upload some of them to YouTube.
