Welcome to the 11th episode of the Texas Plinking 1 MOA At 1,000 Yards Challenge. A monthly video series where I let 5 fans come out with their equipment and attempt to shoot a 10" gong at 1,000 yards in under 10 shots. If they hit it, they can use their remaining shots on the 5" gong. The 10" gong is worth 10 points and goes down 1 point after every shot. The 5" gong is worth 20 points and goes down 2 points after every shot. Once both are hit, the challenge is complete and each unfired round is an additional point. New episodes go live on the 1st Monday of every month!

You really struck gold with this idea I'm sure that you noticed Eric Cortina jumped on the idea of bringing in his fans to shoot. It's a brilliant reality contest and if you can think of some more games your channel is going to continue to excel

You know, I was initially impressed but then I watched him go for the half moa target and never make a single adjustment even being multiple target widths off and I'm starting to think his first shot was just compete luck

[@heinrichstoltz1356]

This series is fantastic, and I will keep on saying that - will say it next time again. Seeing sponsors coming onboard is BRILLIANT. The shot markers making a comeback is super, thanks Brandon. You can count me as a very recent Arken EP5 owner because of your reviews and channel exposure. Keep it going.

Thank you for being a good enough content creator to listen to feedback from fans. I appreciated the hit markers but I figured that editing time had to do with. Glad that they are back, thanks!

What's up early newsletter crew!

Not bad. My car got a flat tire today. BUT HIT MARKERS ARE BACK SO MY DAY IS AWESOME!

Great day here! So how do we put our name in the hat to come do the challenge? I’d love to come down from North Idaho next winter and try it, there is no way I am coming Texas during summer weather 😅

I wish PA wasn't so far away from y'all ide enter to try and bring the sig cross down in 6.5 to give it a try great episode and shooters as always you should do a guntuber special edition episode just for fun like demo Matt Brandon Herrera donut ECT

[@LifeMyWay007]

WOW!!! Double Gold. Wish I could make it out there but a bit too far. I would nail the Gold for distance traveled for sure, 12 hour time difference here in the Philippines so literally the other side of the planet. Always enjoy watching though.

[@howardswayne2742]

That was some wicked mirage. I shoot at Delta Red in San Saba not far from you and would love to come to a shoot, how does one sign up?

[@kentuckywindage222]

Brian getting it done! That is a very accurate rifle and load. I run into eye fatigue more now with my health issue's and getting older. What starts as a clear optic after a little time becomes blurry. No change in weather, distance etc. needed. My best remedy besides a break, is to back off magnification a tad. Every shooter knows seeing your impacts when we miss is paramount for making corrections. Everyone having a great time says a lot. Good people and good fun!

[@Labeefarmer]

Hit markers are back, two gold shots, your Mom's enthusiasm...all around great!

[@markfoss4402]

Glad you brought back the shot counter/placement

[@steelcitytbirds]

Great stuff as always. Hearing everyone's rigs and their confidence levels at the intro and trying to comprehend for myself what a 5" target at 1,000 yards would really be; I was reminded of a quote from the King - Richard Petty. All you can do is put yourself in a position to win, the rest is just luck.

[@BeanDip2288]

That was awesome that Brian just came in and nailed it first try and was almost dead center on the metal plate! That was awesome!

[@markzang4918]

Great looking guns and some damn good shooters.

[@bruinsfan8522]

Congrats to all those guys on having the guts to go out there and try. All of them shot way better than I could ever hope for. Poor Ernesto though, got a second round hit in the only episode with not only one, but two first rounders.

[@johne1653]

Thank for rolling with changes! Keep the good work coming!

[@BrianOlsen-j1h]

kentuckywindage222 you hit the nail right on the head. With the boiling mirage close to the ground and my old eyes (getting cataract surgery before I return) I could hardly see the target let alone my misses. I let too much time pass between the first and 2nd shot and the wind died down. I saw my next to last shot hit and I held left but it was too little too late. Initial shot had .6 mils windage. Shooter behind me got a 2nd round hit with zero windage. It happens. Kudos to Brandon and his folks!! Extremely well organized as well as super friendly. The camaraderie between all the shooters regardless of age is a testament to the type of folks this event attracts. I haven't competed in 30 years but this competition is an absolute treat!

[@anameek4727]

Brian! You are one of my Favorite shooters! XOXO TP mom!

[@ablibitum8303]

What a GREAT shot! And your grouping on the .5 MOA was even more amazing to me! Man-o-Man...I'd give you honors every time hunting on the long shot...I'll clean up the short easy ones. About cataract surgery...The best decision I've ever made! Should have done it 20 years sooner. Life changer...was for me. God Bless Amigo! Keep shootin' straight!

[@declanmagill7624]

Mr. Olsen - I'd love to speak with you on the specifics of your rifle's barrel and action, what gunsmith you used, how you selected a barrel, etc. I fell in love with your rifle and am hoping to make a similar looking rifle in .300 Win Mag. I'd love to chat, thanks!

[@toddbrown9593]

I’ve been binge watching these videos. Really enjoying them. I’m glad you added the hit markers back. Thanks for taking that time. I find myself rooting for the guys especially when they are getting hits so close. Thanks. Fellow Texan here.

[@seeratlasdtyria4584]

Gotta say Brandon, , in only a year, you've come a LONG way :) I also like that off hand grip you've come up with- not only anchoring your rifle in the "x" plane, but in the "y" as well. No blink/flinch etc. at all to boot ! Yep, you've definitely closed the gap on the 1S, 1k Snake Eater crowd:) Hell, next thing I know, you'll be showing up in a Ghillie! heheh. Seriously though, I admire what you've achieved:) On another note, you're first 'Ten'er' strikes me as a man with a 'history' (wink). Was fun as hell watching a fellow old fart get it done as well. Definitely a man you don't want to find yourself down range of . A tip of the cap to him.

[@travisbond635]

We love your videos. Very inspiring to see normal guys getting it done. Congratulations to Brian and Brandon. God bless you all. 🇺🇸

Yeah, I assume he couldn"t see his splash do to mirage. He shot a hell of a group, just not on target.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SERIES GR8 VIDEOS..... THNX U MAKE MY SUNDAYS BETTER

[@franciscodrgn17]

awesome of you listeing to your audience! cheers for those hitmarkers comeback!!

[@scottbeverly188]

Outstanding shooting for this one and to get two first-shot hits is amazing. I'm not sure if many caught it, but when the older gentleman was discussing his rifle he mentioned that he had a tremor, so as a shooter with a tremor I can tell you that plays a big role in control. He was at a bigger disadvantage than the other shooters and still brought home the gold. Respect Sir! When I shoot I have to time my shots because my right hand and arm are always in motion, but I have learned to get better at it. It's like trying to hit a swinging target except the target is stationary and it's your hand that is swinging.

[@EarlyBirdArms]

As soon as I saw that old head on camera I knew he’d be on the leaderboards. Been waiting for a first shot 1k yards 👌 good job brotha!

[@richardoliver1468]

Thank you for continuing this series. It is great to see what other shooters are using. Congratulations to Brian on getting the Gold. Based on the poor visibility of that small plate, All the shooters did an awesome job. Would you consider setting up additional targets leading out from say 500 to 950 yards. That might a fun experience for those who never shot pass 500 yards before. After that challenge then have a competition where they come back to try your 1000 yard challenge. Lastly would you be willing to then have a squad challenge?? Just thinking outside the box. Looking forward to more videos.
