Thanks so much for the custom targets and explaining how it works. This will be a great training tool! BTW I get so much information from watching your videos. Thanks again.
Thanks! I always try to dial if there is time to do so, but some stages have so much movement that learning to use holdovers is a must if you don't want to time out. Happy practicing!
@@CopperStarPrecision Went to the range today, got all setup to do this, and realized I forgot the details of how it was supposed to be done. Really good practice, but I didn't shoot it exactly right so I'll have to redo it later. I didn't hold quite enough wind, but all my shots were hitting high for some reason.
Hmm... it could be printed at the wrong scale. The document is designed to be printed actual size and the black bars should be exactly 1 inch wide. Otherwise, a strong right to left wind would push your bullet upwards (assuming a right-hand twist barrel).
10 Shots 10 Positions 5 Holds ( Unique each shot) 90 Sec Par time off of a pyramid or ladder going for 80%. Yeah copper star. I'm gonna run. That and post. Should be fun.
It's not hard to measure and figure it out the correct distance, but putting "50 Yards" on the PDF would be an improvement. Cool idea. I'm definitely going to try it!
Short answer, no. Long answer, since all the shots are at 50 yards then no matter what velocity your ammo is at they should all be arriving at the target at around the same time. If you have a good 50 yard zero and decently consistent ammo the target will work as intended. For example, the 0.5 MIL hold, if you dial 0.5 MIL up from your zero and shoot the target, you would expect your impact to be 0.9 inches high from your aim point (50 yards = 1800 inches / 1000 = 1.8 inches x 0.5 MRAD = 0.9 inches). The center of the first (lowest) bullseye is set at 0.9 inches above the aim point. So keeping your 50 yard zero and holding over the 0.5 MIL should have the same effect and your impact should be somewhere in that first bullseye. What different velocity will impact is your ballistic solutions/DOPE for targets at different distances. So for a 100 yard target your hold or dial might be 1.8 MILS where mine might be 1.7 if we are using ammo with different velocities.
