@blokeontherange 1 MOA All Day Long Challenge (1MADL)- Larue 6.5 Grendel

@blokeontherange 1 MOA All Day Challenge - Larue 6.5 Grendel
50 yards, not sighted for the ammo. Goal is ten shots with a group size of .50 inches or less. It was all going so well... Bad magazine, bad bad magazine! Well, I held the group to .46 inches for the first 8 rounds before things went awry. :-)

What was the final group size? It looked really small to me but im used to shooting at 100 meters

[@comacoda]

Final group size was a heart breaking 0.764"..... The first 8 rounds measured 0.484". I wasn't sure if I would even be on paper at 100 yards so I shot at 50 yards, I should have shot 100, it would have been fine....

[@Afro408]

Are you sure you don't want me to hold an umbrella over you, so you can be really comfortable before you start shooting this challenge??? Jeez. 🤣🤣🤣

[@fourthhorseman4531]

Haha, I honestly thought he was never going to break that first shot.

[@Afro408]

@@fourthhorseman4531 Yeah! Me too! I've been range shooting for fifty years and he's one of the worst prima donna's I've ever seen! 🤣 We used to take the piss out of anyone carrying on like that. 😏

[@waltarb8573]

Amazing shooting!! I could never take this much time between shots, absolute zen! I would be surprised if I could even get close to 2 moa :')

[@comacoda]

Thanks for the kind words. There is a zen aspect to it for sure, if you are in the USA I can't recommend Appleseed Project enough- they put on low cost rifle marksmanship events all over the country. I once got the real deal zen experience shooting Appleseed, I was so steady in prone the only movement I saw in my sights was my heartbeat!!! Great program and instruction.

[@elkhuntr2816]

Looks like about 2MOA.

[@bdkj3e]

Well done, so close.

[@Edweird2w1]

Thats a nice range, its been a long time since I last shot at that specific range.

[@doppelT_066]

I'm not into guns, but that was mighty impressive!

[@comacoda]

Thanks!

[@bradh74]

You're right you would of had a chance at 100 but you can always try again, right? Anyway you slice it that's a nice group out of ANY AR! If I could shoot 1" groups at 50yrds (2MOA) I would be happy. Love the practicality of your shooting bag! I remember as a kid using a friends shoulder was the best rest we had with a BB gun or 22lr. I just got some cheaper bags and haven't even shot since they aren't tall enough to shoot prone.

He's finding / checking / adjusting / verifying his N.P.O.A. possibly the most important aspect of rifle marksmanship

[@SBFDmedic]

50 yards off a bag. Those squares are 1” squares so your group was 1” at 50 yards = 2 MOA. Just sayin

[@comacoda]

Measurements are taken from the center of the bullet impact, this levels the playing field between a .204 projectile through .338 or whatever else one might be measuring groups for... There are a few other ways to measure but this was the defined way for the published rule set of the 1MADL challenge.

Is your woman under the sand? 😳

[@erniedesantis597]

Shooting in CG?

[@comacoda]

Yep!

[@erniedesantis597]

I thought so. I used to live there.
