Smallest 1000 yard group ever caught on camera!

While shooting, I decided to set up my camera and record the screen on my phone so I could see the shots on my Electronic Target (Silver Mountain).
To my surprise, the shots kept stacking up on top of each other. I had a 3 shot group under 1/4 inch! Most shooters would be happy with that at 100 yards, but this is at 1,000 yards!
Enjoy!

Congratulations Eric, on the extra small group, perfectly outstanding shooting at 1000 yards. Lookout F-Class shooters, I would love to see you do this also in your next F-Class match. In addition, I was glad to see something other than Texas Barndominium videos which I always enjoy. BC this is where I first saw Eric Cortina offer input for long-range competitive shooting techniques and philosophy on fundamentals. Please keep up the good work and videos for 1000 yard shots etc.

[@Rubble1]

I’d be pretty happy with that group with my ar at 100 yards.

[@dbmail545]

I know that's true. I would be satisfied if not quite ecstatic to shoot that group at 100 yds out of any rifle that I own.

[@todsimpkins8908]

use that contraption, and no doubt you will.

[@ErikCortina]

Tod Simpkins If it was only that easy. 😂

[@jerome3989]

That's some good grouping ay, 1.3 inches would be basically inside someone's eyeball.

[@newjargon1697]

@@dbmail545 man a good, solid bolt rifle at 100 yds. Should have no issue getting keyholes in or near bull. No bullshit. Like a Rem. 700 or something of that nature.

[@DialingLongDistance]

This is one of the best shooting videos I’ve seen in a long time. I cracked up laughing out loud when, after your forth shot, you were saying ‘oh my god, oh my god I hope I don’t blow this’. Excellent marksmanship sir. Well done. Unreal.

[@allenhuebner6251]

I think I would have cut the video at 4 shots and said best 4 shot group ever on video. But your just too damb honest. Lol

[@av8rbri473]

you said it best in the DESCRIPTION. Most people would be happy with this @100YD!!! That’s BEAST MODE rt there brother!!!!

[@fabsfabsfabs]

If you know, you know! Now I know! Came right after the demolition ranch foam insulation video. Hope Matt also sees this video and hope that maybe a colaboration\competion with demolition ranch is on the way. Cheers from Brasil Erik!

[@jerome3989]

Same watched demo ranch read a comment about this blokes 1.3inch groups at 1,000 and googled that shit straight away. Reckon he could tie fishing line to a empty beer bottle at 1,000...shoot fishing line and drop the bottle.

[@fabsfabsfabs]

LiquidSword Well, maybe they talk about it off the cameras :). And I know a "competition" is not realistic, after all, Erik is a Pro. Matt is a good guy that loves gun, and also an entertainer, but not a pro. And thats fine. Maybe eventually they'll do some funny stuff together on demolition ranch.

[@blahblah8037]

LiquidSword nick Irving killed many men. Real sniping isn’t this perfect set up. I don’t see why you feel the need to drag him down.

[@rollandklontz]

@LiquidSword Matt hasnt even stepped up to support the 2nd ammendment. He chases the $$'s and thats it. He is not a shooter not sure he wants to be. Why people whatch his crap is beyond me... Somehow i doubt this guy could shoot all that well in the mountains of Afghanistan so comparing Irving to him is ridiculous. Especially when one shooter cares about minute of angle in pristine conditons and the other cares about minute of man in what ever contion is thrown at him

[@TheAbilities]

Ha. I thought I recognized him.

[@johnleake708]

Thanks for showing us the shooting and resulting group. VERY NICE group

[@PolenarTactical]

Wow, this is just mind blowing :O

[@greatwhitenorth762]

@SuperVacation1 If by "jam" you mean "where are the lands?", i know the answer; "Erik doesn't know and doesn't care". :)

[@RHG48]

45/50 with 5 shots to go. You'll get better with more practice, don't worry. I think you have potential. Maybe try neck sizing?

[@rdsii64]

The best 5 shot group at 1000 yards I have ever done ( and only did it once) was a 5 inch group with someone else calling my wind. This is insane.

[@scottrackley4457]

love the towel over the funnel when charging, the little touches

[@geomarzolf8608]

They call that a nipple grouping. Great shooting and set up. I've been watching your channel and learning a bunch. Thanks for the videos 👍

[@Tactsu142]

Wonderful shooting. And also, a wondeful lesson in allowing the negative result to enter your head and manifesting. Instead of, "i am going to make this happen," or even pretending there is a sixth shot.

[@noride11]

Brings back memories from when I use to watch David Tubb on VHS tape as a kid!

[@paulfeist3573]

Hell of a group! I can't count the number of times I've "talked myself out of" a good group shooting Smallbore Prone... you see that nice little knot developing, and your next shot spoils it! God dang, but 1.3" is impressive, though! Not gonna stop you from thinking "what if" about that .3 cluster, though!

[@TTiger86268]

Excellent shooting, came across your vids a month ago or so, I wish sooner. Keep on shooting

[@huntmasterjames]

Congrats Erik. That's Awesome

[@TimothySielbeck]

As I said on another video, you are a man of many talents.

[@paulbarranco9904]

found you from Demo. I knew you were something special from the beginning. my intuition was right

[@johngross8300]

Amazing. Matt is in trouble. . . Again. Thanks Erik. Loving the Channel. Since yesterday!

[@nigelolympia]

What? Couldn't get em' any closer?! Damn. That sure was damn impressive. Like a 1000 yard surgeon.

[@Dillardcp]

Been watching this guy's barndo videos for a while, just now seeing he's a bad ass shooter as well. Worlds collide

[@spencertoolandgrind]

Fantastic group, Eric.

[@LedGuitar1218]

I always get nervous when I’m running a good group and pull the last shot. Good stuff man

Dude. Outstanding!

[@k5edd128]

Smiling! Wow didn't know you were into shooting too. Watched your epoxy work on Matt Risinger's garage and he told on you. Well your from Texas and that kind of goes with being a Texan the shooting thing. Born and raised in Liberty county TX, now live in Boone county AR. Friend of mine posted on FB that shooting a box of 9mm at a sheet of plywood is the most expensive hobby now days. I reload but can't find the reloading supplies now day. Good work sir.

[@AC-kk3vo]

That's better than my best 600yd group, some people have no idea what you did there, awesome!

[@ryridesmotox]

Everyone out there thinking neck only sizing is the only way to get accuracy. But here eric is, just minding his business and killin it

[@ErikCortina]

HowaShooter 😁

[@ryridesmotox]

@@ErikCortina I got into a discussion with someone on FB about it. People are set in their ways. I know sizing is only one part of the equation, but it's a fairly important aspect. Even posted a link to that video you made about not neck sizing.

[@ErikCortina]

HowaShooter Yeah, they are set in their ways for sure. Oh well, let them. 🤷‍♂️

[@mirekslechta7161]

Amazing, I used to like this kind of shooting too, but once I met person who is able to shoot 2 inch groups at 100m standing without any support and even hit moving targets with similar results, than I realized what are just contests of guns quality and ammo quality and what are contests of shoter´s quality... Two very different games... The same impressions I have when I see Jerry Michulec´s videos..

[@DHaun100]

That open class vodooo!! Nice shooting.

[@phillips321]

I'm a hunter with a 300wm. My rifle muzzle kicks tremendously when shooting, how do you manage to make the recoil of your rifle stay in line with the barrel and no muzzle flip? Even with a large heavy moderator i still loose sight picture.

[@flatheadfletch]

I have just purchased a Bergara HMR Pro with 24” barrel in 6.5 cm. I haven’t shot it yet simply because of scope choices. Just getting started in the 1000 to 1500 yard shooting. What scope and model do you recommend ? I will purchase the exact model you suggest ! I really am stumped on this !!!

[@usa5865]

So at first I was really jealous. Then I resized your powder scale cost more than my rifle and scope put together. Now I'm only kinda jealous but realize what needs to go into a group like that. Nice shooting!

Great shooting Eric, I will watch the rest of your videos. Looks like you know what your talking about.
