This episode was a little different due to scheduling, so I figured I'd use this as an opportunity to answer some questions, go into some of the analytics and all that fun stuff. We'll go back to the usual episodes on the next one in July! Welcome to the 15th 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!

Impressed with the 5.56 impact for sure

Thanks for having me out at the challenge Brandon. One of the silver coin challenge coins and fist to hit with a .50 bmg. Not to go on too much of a rant, to all the people wondering how to sign up for this challenge. Pay attention to all the things mentioned in this video involved in making this production happen and amount of people who say they they would like to do it but back out last minute or never respond back. To be honest I came with some buddies out there as a backup shooter and figured might as well bring a big iron rifle. Just happened to be needed on a last minute cancellation and ended up with a silver challenge coin. Rant over and thanks again Texas Plinking for putting on this challenge.

PSA Sabre line is the real deal, confirmed again and again with other the examples I've had in hand. Shoot with the Federal 175gr GM SMK and all of the ones I've seen are doing .75 moa. Great to see PSA putting out a quality product for a reasonable price.

This series confirms that experience with wind calls is paramount. Also not having a super windy day is very helpful. In zero wind with some experience, making a hit in 2 shots is fairly easy with a decent setup but wind can make it nearly impossible if you don’t have a bunch of trigger time under the belt

Mosin man will always be number one, in my heart

By far my favorite series on RU-vid.

Great video. Impressive to see that PSA 10A2 cold bore 1 MOA at 1k. That setup changes the entire precision rifle market.

Everyone has their right to their own opinion but personally this is some of the best content on youtube! Such a cool idea and just a cool ass dude to host it! My only worry ever about this challenge is the fact that you're inviting strangers out with you to shoot but you're a smart dude and know what you're doing! Keep up the killer work man! Much love from Montana!

So far this channel and Brandon has taught me is that the rifle is one part and the second part is the person. Great channel and great work with the channel👍🏼👍🏼

those Palmettos are looking pretty good. I see a SASS in my future...

Have the Sabre 16", fought with ammo for a bit but with Federal GMM 175 Sierra It consistently does .7in 5 shot groups at 100. The AAC loading of the same Sierra bullet was closer to 1.75inch, a huge difference

An interesting thing would be themed episodes where you only bring out people with WW2 era bolt action rifles or only people with setups around 1000$ or less. I really enjoyed watching that kid with a Mosin embarass people with more expensive gear!

Absolutely love this series. Just wish it was uploaded on Sunday instead of Monday 😂. I have to watch in short sections during the work week

Love the series. I don’t watch much RU-vid at all, but always watch these. A friend and I have been talking about submitting our names. We have experience in Highpower and F-class, and own the appropriate rifles, but we want to use something different. We’ve discussed everything from typical hunting rifles to Garands. Lack of optics capable of spotting our own shots is the big problem with most of these. Once we get it figured out, you should be hearing from us.

I really enjoyed the analytics conversation, puts it into perspective for those who think this is easy. What would be really cool is if you plopped a 8” at 500-600 yards and incorporate that somehow, which I bet would gather even better data as to people thinking they can take animals at 500, bet you it’d be close to the 16-26% as well. Thanks for another great episode man.

The PSA actually looks sick with the mixed color way. I usually don’t go for guns that aren’t stock black or blue

That cold bore shot with that Super SASS was epic!

I just love your channel. love your mother too, she is a Rockstar. How lucky you are to have a mother like her. God Bless from Indiana.

Excellent. Never late with the 308.

Best on yet!!! Only because of all the behind the scenes. Most people don’t know how much work goes into this discipline. Not just the guns but everything else. I too have my own personal range and it’s a lot more work than people think.

This is my favorite video series of all time

One of my favorite episodes on RU-vid. I would love to get into long-range shooting, there's not really any long distance ranges near me in Northeast TN and the farthest I've ever shot was 500 meters with an A4 using iron sights while in the Marines 17 years ago.

That perspective from the target makes the shooting even more impressive. Even the rifles that dont hit the small targets but group all unfer that frame is incredible

I really enjoy these videos, particularly seeing some of the gorgeous setups people bring. My only suggestion would be whether you could place the target camera closer so it reduces the mirage effects and wind effects and allows us to see the hits and misses clearer. All the best from England!

a scope cam with your point of view would be awesome in these.

PSA stepping up.

I say it every month--great video! Today is no exception, love to see rifles in action.

Hey Brandon, Jack here. I'm an amateur recreational shooter. I go out to Holley Gun Range in Gatesville, TX. They just put a flash bang lit hit marker on their 700 yard target. wondering if you've thought about possibly getting some of those? definitely always talk about one day getting out to your property and giving it a go with my friend scott. love the channel, keep it up.

Love this series and appreciate the transparency on the logistical nightmare that must be to get each episode out. Also interesting that you did the PSA sabré 308 as one of those will for sure be my next pickup 😂

From Ed Urbina. We are thankful of the feedback from another happy customer: Clean Just what I needed for a my rifles. Clean look

From our happy customer, moonshine One of those "Wish I'd thought of that" items Pretty slick. Small, unobtrusive, professional looking, and serve to minimize the potential for mis chambering when you have similar firearms in multiple calibers.

I love these video man, I got into long range because of you. Hopefully when you get your place up and running I would fly out to do a class there.

That MK12 build was daaaaammmmn impressive. Nice job with the 5.56!

A scope cam would go really far for the viewer in these videos imo I love the series it’s great

I'd love too try this challenge... I'm close by in DFW too!

This was a different stroke than normal but still good. I cant wait for these to come out enjoy watching them!!

Very surprised on the aero. Nice grouping. I wonder how the .308 version will do

Absolutely love it. Stopped shooting long range years ago. Your video series got me motivated. Got A new rig that im working on.

My favorite Long range challenge show , imagine hitting a 5" plate at 1000 yards, that's crazy good. Realy Glad to see this episode

Another great vid, if I ever get the chance I’d like to try my hand at the 1 mile. Brother from another mother down under OZ.

I think a cool video would be a mystery weapon challenge. Shooters come and are given random rifles from your personal collection. They don’t know caliber or what rifle they’re getting until they’re laying down behind the a covered weapon. Maybe a woobie can cover it and they grab and go, possibly timed too to make it more interesting Edit: your Channel scratching my long range shooting itch, absolutely love it

Insane seeing the targets up close... Blown away!

Keep going man, you've got a special thing going and I'd love to see you make a big thing out of it there!!! On camera or off camera it's cool to see you grow!!!

Absolutely love this channel!!Knowing now that I’m watching a “show and tell” makes it even better!! Keep up the good work

So many great things about this challenge, I have seen winners with expensive rigs. I have seen a winner with a Mosin-Nagant. And I am glad you finally gave some of the parameters of submitting a request. For example, I have not shot past 100 yards. So, I would not even think of trying until I have successfully shot at 300 yards. Fossil Pointe, a few hours west of me, goes to 800 yards. North East Texas Tactical, in Kaufman County near Terrell, goes to a mile. Once I could get some time and success on anything past 100 yards, I would feel comfortable answering the challenge. And yeah, what a great idea hosting events. Private challenges, bachelor parties where guns matter more than girls (and that should appeal to brides to be,) that would be great. And maybe offer some rustic camping, if they want. Have them pay for the cost of a porta-john.

Great Vid..!!! Definitely gonna look into a PSA Saber next 👍🏼

A great compliment from our customer Sammy W Great Idea Saw this product on Texas Plinking's RU-vid channel. Order a couple just to check them out. They are well made and look even better. So ! ordered enough for all my AR's. Contacted them by email and Austin even made me one for my 5.7×28 AR pistol. Would highly recommend this company. Best part is when I reach in the safe I can tell at a glance what rifle it is.

The paid experience idea sound phenomenal. I am in Australia but that is the kind of a holiday bucket list item in my opinion, I hope you get it up and running so I can get along when I finally make it over to the U.S of A.

I've been watching your 1 MOA At 1,000 Yards Challenge videos for some time now and after watching them I just want to go out Buy British and get my self some kind of Accuracy International Rifle.

Another positive comment from a happy customer, Jeremy Schmidt Great Product! I cannot say how great these things are! They are so much better than the rubber bands or a dust cover that shows the caliber markings! Too notch machining and materials! Extremely fast shipping as well

Thanks for sharing what happens behind the scenes 💪👍🏽🇺🇸

Really appreciate these videos and look forward to them every month. This is in fact the only youtube series I am subscribed to. :)

These videos are so fun to watch. Nice work, you actually had one cold bore hit too. Keep it coming.

Great job man! Props to you for kicking off the you tube challenges!! I’d love to make it down there and try it sometime!

A case in point for the shooter and the fundamentals not the weapon. Cracking shooting and a cold bore hit in terms of content as always. Appreciate all the effort you put into the challenge and look forward to the next episode

I have a Remington 700 in 243 with a bull barrel. I live in Arkansas and now looking for a long distance range, because of you. 😂

This has been super cool to watch. Thanks for putting in the effort to set it all up. You also demonstrated today you’re a damn good shot lol

Depending on pricing, the ability to travel to the US and do a long range range day with some of your stunning weapons would absolutely be something I would enjoy doing!

I just ordered 2 of the rifle tactical caliber tags for my LR308 build in 308 and 6.5 creedmoore. I was super excited to find these and saved a lot of money with your code. Thanks

Really enjoyed this one! That perspective from the targets was great to see too! Always looking forward to the next one!

What an awesome platform for a channel. I need some serious practice and I’d love to try it!

I love this series. I hope one day when I'm not so busy I can make it out there to to attempt the challenge.

Hey man love the videos. I personally love that it’s not a competition and love the show and tell aspect. I’ve hunted my whole life but have never don’t anything like this and you are making me want to try it out. The club I shoot at has a 1000 yard range and one of my hunting rifles is 6.5 CM. Might just have to go try it out. Love what you do. Keep it up!

Never shot distance before. I'm slowly building a bolt action to get into it. I'd love to come on and give it a try when I'm done building it. I'm also in Texas. Also interested in any/all private events you might host!

I love this series I hope you never stop!

My favorite series on RU-vid. Thank you Brandon 🤙🏻

This made me go practice at my range and try my luck, not as easy as it seems on whatever day with whatever load but a good learning process, hopefully I'll get to your range one day and try my luck 🤞

Great vid! I would love to see a scope cam to see what you see. This series is awesome and ill hopefully be completing my first 1k yard shot this or next weekend :)

That was some damn fine shooting Brandon! That first shot hit was so rad! I hope to be able to come out and try my luck some day.

Outstanding content, you make it look effortless. I strive to shoot as well as you do, we're new to long distance shooting but it's fun as hell....even the misses (when/if you can see them).

That Solus is amazing! Did you see how close his groups are when he missed!

Mod H is a fantastic set-up.

great shooting as always, and the mk12 wow, I really want to come out and try the challenge! keep this series going! 2 thumbs up!

Your trigger follow thru has gotten so much better (perfect)

Still a great video. This is One of my favorite series on youtube for sure

I would request that any participant put down a $500 deposit that will be returned to them when they show up. That would be the easiest way to filter out people who aren’t serious about showing up

I gotta say.. PSA has really been impressing me. I got their saber m110 “clone” and have been loving it. I’ve also been eyeing balling the super sass and after watching this I’m even more interested now. Thanks

I love you vids. Dollar for dollar, Arken Optics are fantastic scopes. They are definitely no frills, but they are great glass.

I hear you about the amount of effort for it being a one man show! Keep up the great work!

Awesome stuff Brandon thanks for making this video! Also all that you do! I look forward to this challenge every month about 3 weeks early ha

This series the best, I’m always pumped seeing a new episode!

Business must be good with that Raptor R

Damn, amazing shooting in high heat and high wind!

Been enjoying watching these episodes - surprising how something so simple is so addictive! Just a thought, have you considered a 'celebrity' round? ie inviting people like Scott (Kentucky B.), Matt (Demo R), Brandon Herrera to compete against each other?

Great vid and great shooting. Love the TP MOA challenge - all the way from Scotland. 👍🏻

Next time you go out don’t forget to bring your string trimmer and round up.

Bought an EP8 and used your code to snag one for 299 during their Memorial Day sale, it’s awesome!

One shot then dials left and hits it. Cold bore hits it also! Awsome shooting!!

W hy do not wrap your cans to help prevent mirages? also provide a good bench to shoot from giving a choice of prone or benched? and last haul some dirt up around your plates so spotting misses WAY easier

Woud be cool to see Demolition Ranch Matt try this challenge!!!

I'm not affiliated with Hornady. They do have an impact light, I think, would help with the impact.

Enjoy watching the 1000 yard challenge, also enjoyed watching this episode.

Wish I lived in Texas, I’d love to come give it a try!

Love the stats kept!🦆🦆

I always cheer for everybody It would be cool if you did a regular episode but then at the end give your mom 5 different rifles and see what she can do. Just edit everything down super short

Love this series. Would love to come do it in person some time. You need the hit flashers

This is great a ton of talking before shooting but still good.

Bring out the PSA M110 in 6.5 creedmoor that you just purchased and painted topped with the Arken sh4J. Interested to see that compete at 1000 yards!

I love to see a variation to this like a know your limits 2 shots at a hundred 3 at 500 and 5 at a 1000 any remaining rounds at the half moa. It's be kinda fun
