200 yards Extreme Benchrest with Slugs? Why not?
- Thread starter RusBear
- Start date
Sounds interesting... Definitely a slug thing since it would be futile with pellets. We haven't even seen anyone in the past five years break 230 out of 250 in competition at 100 yards with pellets. So pellets are by demonstration at their limit. Would like to see a separate event with the slugs at 150, 175 or 200 yards depending on the facility. Good idea Nicolay!

Would be good to see some higher scoring possible by not stretching the distances out to far. Not to take anything away from the current competitors but wouldn’t that also take some of the element of luck out. Have a higher level of precision less influenced by an unpredictable environment Maybe smaller targets at 100y?

I like what he does with his tank. It gets it out of the way and probably makes the table more stable at the same time.

Great idea. Your video clearly shows 200 yards isn't that extreme with the right slug/gun combo. Nice job.

Thank you! We are going to hold our Benchrest competitions tomorrow. 41 participant will be there. 10 people will shoot Benchrest with slugs at 200 yards for the very first time. Very interesting!

Well, we did it. Here are the best targets for 200 yards competitions. We score a bit different that at EBR (due to different layout of the target). Full size targets is not a cheap thing here. Every target 5 shots (scored by the score break line - not with .35 caliber as at EBR) misses are not scored. Right bottom target is for sighting.

It would be interesting to know what guns were used and the details of those weapons ( caliber, fps, scope and brand of slug if commercial slugs were used).
I'm going to attach a PDF for you that can be printed on any WIDE FORMAT printer capable of using 11" x 17" (tabloid size) plain paper. This is what many of us use for practicing here as full size targets are very expensive here as well.
Cheers

You guys are awesome!!!!! Nice weather you had there. I don't know about the scoring, but I'm sure those targets show what seriously dedicated airguners can achieve in what I would think were less than desirable conditions. I'm not a competitive type of shooter, but I sure enjoy seeing your results.
I like your bi-pods. They have to be very stable. I think I'll make one like that for myself.
