800 yards is a LONG way - pic heavy

[lotsofshots]

We have some family friends way out west that own a good bit of land with an 800 yard range. They're very generous with what they have and allow us to come stretch out our rifles.

Check out these pics!

Shooting house



Down range





At 800 yard gong looking back towards shooting house with my Dad - you can barely see the roof



A few lucky 800 yard hits



My oldest and her 800 yard hit with her cricket .22 - of course she was 20 yards in front of it!



My nephew holding my great grandfathers model '94 in .38 55. The rifle was built in 1905 and is still good out to 200 easy with iron sights



One of my most favorite days on this planet! Can't take those memories away!

Sweet! Wish I had a place to stretch out past 600!

Wow...... it's got to be exciting to hear a hit at 800 yards.

[Burnadell]

Looks like a fun day, for sure!

That's a blast. We do that at our lease and that is a long shot

Wow...... it's got to be exciting to hear a hit at 800 yards.

The crazy part is how long it takes for the sound to get back to you. Long enough to shoot, follow through, pull an ear plug and wait for it to bong!

I can't see 800 yards.
