Welcome to the 18th 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!

M1 garand guy here!!! Guys I tried the wind was like 12-15 mph cross wind, im gonna reload a heavier bullet and I definitely wanna try again! I had such a good time with some fantastic people and fantastic shooters!!

[@philipejeuceoututkache]

Absolute kudos to you Andrew for having tried the challenge, by imposing you an even harder challenge on top of it. Please come back on the channel later with hand-loaded 30-06, and PONG the gong ^^ Impressive eye sight too, can barely see at 110 yard with a Mosin, so I can't imagine how it is at 1000 with a Garand.

[@Jeckur]

[@brianvandeveer-eo4kw]

Hats off to you. I'd never even seen the target to get the shot in the same zip code. Can't wait to see you come back.

[@krispytoo12]

Yeah, that dude is blessed.

[@infinitehoodedgaming]

I feel like if you're brave enough to attempt 1000 yards and iron sights , you deserve a spotter. Because you've given yourself a disadvantage that none of the other competitors have.

[@bokiNYC]

Agree 100%! 👍 I mean, they were kind of spotting for him.

Beautiful M1 Garand. I cannot imagine what the sight picture will look like at 1,000 yds.

[@DrewB7777]

I shot mine at 500 and oh boy it was hell lol

[@THEWILLYEFFECT]

There is none. Just sights lol

[@1014p]

Well seeing that, no way accurate shots at that far occurred in the war. Might be a few who could and may have. Volley fire to hit more likely.

[@M3dicayne]

@@1014p There was a Finnish sniper in WWII named Simo Häyhä. He preferred iron sights and is to date one of the, if not the deadliest sniper. He has a proven death count of 259 confirmed kills, but his memoirs stating around 500. He used a Finnish Mosin-Nagant M28-30 (basically called SAKO M/28-30). The Russians hated him :)

[@_Delta_P_]

The balls on the guy with the garand. Fantastic sir. And you weren’t missing by much. That’s effective fire on target at 1000 with irons. Props.

Really hope you are able to keep up this series, thank you for the awesome content.

[@rxmclaren7]

I have used a garand at 600 yards, open sights of course, shooting at a 4'x4' target and only hit it once... I thought that was good, but after seeing this guy and his garand, wow he's impressive to keep his hits in the area...

[@1clnsdime1]

The guy with the carbon barrel 6.5 with a green stock. Your gun is a heck of a shooter, and it was doing everything u told it to do. I noticed once u found shot 5, u started blindly cranking on the windage turret. Something that will help is slowing down and using the retical to measure. Then on I think shot 7 u dialed the wrong way. That happens to the best of us, lol. Just stay on the gun as much as possible.

[@Savoy_6]

First time at 1000. With match ammo too. I thought that was very impressive.

[@Savoy_6]

Sorry wrong green rifle.

[@rejion1877]

24:08 Without realizing it, I was rooting for the M1 Garand. I can't even imagine what a target at 1000 yards would look like with a mechanical sight.

[@fnord5]

Looks like an inch dot at 100. 🤷‍♂️

[@JimYeats]

There isn’t a target. He’s aiming at a point of reference like the corner of the berm, or something he can actually see at 1000 yards.

[@CowboyFate]

@@JimYeatsyou're exactly right. No way he can actually see a target that small from that far. Gotta pick something that stands out and go from there

Another awesome episode! I’m so glad you were able to continue making this series. I love the little surprises like featuring an open sights M1 Garand. The ping when it ejects the empty clip is so Iconic. Happy Labor Day everyone. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Stay safe!

[@christopherderaps]

Honestly, Minute of Barn at 1000 with the Garand by Andrew demonstrated ridiculous skill, and he actually dialed it in to ALMOST popping it... Outstanding. Thanks for calling him since he was riding irons and letting him finish that second clip on film (don't get to say CLIP very often on this series and mean it hahahaha). And Brace driving it home with the SCAR had all us poors tingling. REEEAAALLLY wanted the American to get the tag. Good job Cody and great improvement from your last round. Absolutely awesome awesome awesome episode. Thanks for the great content as always. I've never shot further than 400, and I just finished an American Predator 308 build... Man I wish I could afford to sign up and make the trip for an episode!

[@madmaxd1]

This series is great and enjoyable and even more so with this episode. It was great to see representation from a SCAR platform and even more so an open sight attempt with a Garand. Andrew definitely is a good shot and knows the Garand's dope. Thank you for the video.

Let’s see. M1 Garand, Service Iron sights(no National Match sights), Old service ammo, and a plate you can hardly see. That was one of the bravest attempts at a challenge I’ve seen in a long while. Hats off to the marksman and thank you so much for letting him try. I love it when the folks try this challenge with non typical rifles. Well done.

I love this. It's got that antique roadshow feel, but for long range shooting.

[@johndilday1846]

It was fun to see the gentleman try to hit with the Garand and open sights. He did well enough that I think that with a scoped rifle of sufficient range, he would have struck the target for sure. It was fun to watch. Perhaps you could make a separate competition such as a “Iron sights at 800” type challenge. Just saying.

[@AllAboutSurvival]

I'd love to see more episodes with varying weather conditions or rifle setups to really test the limits.

[@Rubeless]

How is he supposed to control the weather? The rifles have been a variety. You new?

[@bwildphotography]

Love this series. One recommendation is maybe throw one of your DJI mics down range near the targets to record the sounds of the steel hits. They should record audio internally even if they’re out of range of the wireless.

[@michaeldavidblunt]

Just an idea, maybe bring out a 1000 yard 1moa challenge for open sight rifles or for basic red dot set ups? Maybe a 700 yard straight wall cartridge challenge ? Alot of 30-30 & 45-70 action would be sweet! Love the channel and always look forward to seeing new videos. Sad to hear the channel is getting hate from youtube but that is monetization for ya. This channel is one of the reasons why my father and I have gotten into distance shooting. It is addictive! Id love to bring my 30-378 out for a challenge but being north of the border makes things alot harder.

[@sirtango1]

To even see the target through iron sights in itself is an achievement!

[@waynebaker8694]

Love that SCAR!

[@aagifford]

Have to add another comment, re: the Garand. I know a WWII vet through my dad who had to defend against a mortar attack at D-Day (Bud Anderson). He was tasked with shooting the mortar crew from 900 yards, and managed it with a Garand that I'm sure looked exactly like the one in this vid. He says he was told to take the guys out or they would all die, so he did. He said he was 18 or 19 at the time (much better eyesight), and it wasn't the first shot, though what I recall from his story was it didn't take that many shots for him to shoot one guy and the crew abandoned their position. He went back a couple years ago, and visited the places he'd been, and even got to see the barn he was staying in that got shelled (shell didn't explode, it landed in a manure pile and sizzled he said). The hole in the roof was patched and the patch is still visible, he took pictures. Crazy stories, he has more...

[@kdean8129]

I'm sure there were more than a few ghosts at the range watching and cheering on as well. I've seen a Canadian ww2 veteran shoot his 06 at 100yd bullseye vs me and a scoped rifle. I felt very humble back then. This episode was made all the better by that shooter and his open sights.

[@aagifford]

So AB Ballistics (and any ballistics program though) says using a 6.5 Creed and Hornady 140 grain ELDX, it's about a 9mph 90° crosswind (assuming no correction on the first shot for the first couple of shooters). I get the sense that that they didn't correct for wind at first, read the impacts and did a good job of correcting though! I measured by taking a screenshot and then plopping into powerpoint then drawing on the screenshot using the 10" plate as reference. First shot miss was about 80" off the center, just to the right of the IPSC.

[@Ben-fz9wn]

You got it man, I was holding 2.2mil for wind. Couldn’t get a great read so I just sent the first two without any wind correction. Great assessment

[@Jerry10939]

I’m impressed with the M1 with Iron sights. That was a great try. I’m sure with a few more clips he could get it.
