Your longest shot in 2016?

[tim tarras]

The Grouse this morning. 18*, Distance of 2 feet. F150 at 80.6fps.

My son shot his first deer at 77 yards with the 280 with a 140gr Hornady BTSP loaded at 2400fps

 

[Schaaf]

I shot 2 Antelope, 2 elk, and 2 deer across Montana and Wyoming this year with the farthest being 180 yards.

I have no use for long distance "hunting".

 

[Retterath]

My wife shot her antelope at 501 yards with her new custom 260 shooting 130 Bergers.

Spring Black Bear hunt in Idaho. 1702 yards for a cold bore kill.
Calm with a 2 mph wind recorded also from fog moving out between us and the bear.
DE LRKM in 338 Terminator sending a 300 gr Berger OTM that I HBN coat and clean the tips with a .027" wire drill. Expanded perfectly with an impact velocity of 1650 fps.

Time of flight was 2.26 seconds
impact energy was 1750 ft lbs
SD and Coriolis were employed.

Shot was and is practiced on targets year round and had been shooting my mile target under almost the exact conditions the week before the hunt. I knew it was good at the break of the trigger and watched the bullet trace all the way.

Holy. Wow.

50 yards on an Axis buck in Maui. It's Maui so it was warm and sunny haha. Shot with my Elite Impulse 34.

 

[blackdog]

512 yards in a 15 mph cross wind on a prairie dog during a lunch break on our Wyoming antelope hunt with a 75g amax from my .223. Doe tag was filled at 425 yards with the same setup and the buck tag at the same distance with my .280AI and 168 Bergers.

 

[TheTone]

I think I filled three tags this year, furthest was a spike elk at 45 yards

 

[Desk Jockey]

Holy. Wow.

Yeah...I am like that guy but entirely different.

35 yards. Forky buck. Double lunged and dropped in 20 yards. Bonus is my 8 year old kid was watching on his very first hunt with me. Daddy points galore.

One shot, one kill.

I killed a 3x3 mule deer buck at 51yards on Jan 1 with my 8 year standing next to me on her first hunt with daddy

325 yards WY buck antelope. .300 WM shooting 165gr Hornady GMX. 65 and sunny. The only noteworthy part of the shot was that it was the first time (out of a dozen WY antelope kills) that I realized I lacked knowledge/tools in the wind-adjustment department. I'm guessing the wind was around ~35mph straight cross, but my Kentucky windage failed me by about a foot back on the animal. It was still DRT, but I will be investing in some type of wind measurement device for next year.

 

[Backpack Hunter]

127 yards, whitetail, .243, 100gr Power Point, 52 degrees with a slight breeze in my face.

39 yard shot on a whitetail buck. .243 87 gr Berger, dropped in his tracks. 45 degrees partly sunny. One hundred yards from where my wife shot her whitetail the day before with her .300 wsm 130 gr Barnes 90 yards and 38 degrees. Public land MT.

Your wife has a 300 and you have a 243? You guys defyingly broke the stereotype on caliber

Whitetail doe, 35 yards, 6.5 X 55, open sights.

 

[maninthemaze]

What caliber and how much does it weigh? Definitely a good looking gun. And I'm hoping that's a coyote.

It is a prairie dog double with a Ruger precision rifle in 6.5 creed. Weighs 14 1/2 lbs. But it has killed coyotes......

I'll join the "Short Range Club"

40 Yard broadside shot on my elk in the opening minutes of shooting light after hunting 10 days with the bow. 308 Win, shot off-hand, 165gr Nosler AB. Bullet lodged under the hide on the opposite side - he didn't go more than 50-60 yards before piling up.

I have a coyote and 2 whitetail with the bow since then - all from 15-25 yards. Almost notched a 3rd whitetail at 25-30 yards with my 6.5CM, but he walked... Season still open until 12/31 here with Muzzy or Bow.

What part of the country is that?

She loves that 300 and shoots it extremely well. I can't think of anything that she has not put down with one shot. And I am a big .243 fan so it works for us.
