I don't have a dog in this fight - but at work we scan approx. 12k documents a month, many of them with tears or punches.

I have no problem believing that is a folded punch through - looks consistent with the claim IMHO.

No backing or loose backing and a slower'ish bullet could tear the target like that as well. .22 mag is probably good for 1.5" groups - how big are those dots?

those dots are 1/2". that means he is shooting with less than 1/8" horizontal spread and less than 1/4" vertical. that is probably better than most top bench rest shooters could shoot with rifles built by the top builders in the country. edit: oh yeah, that would be with a bench rest set up and not prone/bi-pod/hand for rear support.

Fawk, my 1-4x scope has a 1moa center dot, aint a chance in hell I'm plugging half inch dots at 100 yds with that precision. I'm happy with a 1.25" 10 shot group at 50 yds, best I can do, figure that'll be 3-4" at 100. Never been that good with a rifle anyway.

Alright... I'm going to go shoot some more tomorrow, if I get time I'm going to shoot another target, this time with a hard backer so it will "cut" a hole like 300 sniper's pics, instead of "punching" or what ever you want to call it a hole like the first target.

I'm also going to take some pics of the target with a ruler, so you can see the dots are 1/2", I'll also take some pics of the target from where I'm shooting it, so you can tell it's 100 yds.

Anything else that I could possibly take pics of or do to help validate the shoot?

But my take is that people are going to keep doubting you until you give them a video of you showing paper with no holes to camera, walking out and placing the target, walk back, shoot target, walk out and retrieve target, come back and show camera target.

If you are refering to my cyber match, the point is not to post up a .25" 5-shot group. But to simply get people to go out an shoot. Thats why the prize isn't for best shot group, but rather a random drawing from all that enter.

If you go out there with your 10/22 and only end up with 3/5 on the plate I don't really care. I want people to get out and shoot.

A paper plate, 5rds, 100yrds. Give it a try.

I am a very good shot and used to shoot small bore compititions then handgun, and I have met thousands of others that have too.

your close enough that i'd like to come out that way and see a perfect 15 out of 15 on a 1/2" dot at 100 yards. i mean not even breaking the outer edge of the dot. oh yeah, off a bipod only using your off hand as rear support. also with a scope that has a reticle that covers the dot.

but seriously, if you have some good long range spots out in the desert (1k-1200 yards or more), i'd come out there just to go shooting.

either way, lay off the coffee and post up a target:D

Doesn't matter if he does it again or not, just like the hide... even if you, your grandma, the guy claiming you couldn't shoot like that, his grandma, and the president of the united states was out there, they still wouldn't believe you. Because they haven't done it means it's impossible to them. Or because your not an international rock star shooter means you definitely can't do it.


Honestly. what does it matter if the guy did it at 50 or 100 yards. The simple fact he went out and shot the damn target should have meant something. it's more then the people griping about him doing so have done themselves...... stop complaining and go shoot. or hope that one day your as good as he is.

I remember the time I went to a website as a noob and posted my savage build, then that i shot a gong at 800 yards w/ it and 9/10 shots went sub 1 MOA. But it wasn't possible a $700 rifle with a $70 scope could perform like that.... Mind you I claimed it was luck and never said I could shoot like that all day, or even do the same feat twice.

so take it with a grain of salt, people are going to call you on anything that they can't do themselves. Do I think you shot that target at 100 yards? Who cares, you actually went out and shot your rifle.... That was the whole point of the competition.

For those of you asking if it's worth it to shoot the target, if you do shoot it and it comes out good, make sure before you post it to join "sniper's hide" and get a good name on there, then you can post it over there and they will all believe it

I actually checked it out last night, found the "practical tactical" post or some shit over there with this target, 300 sniper posted my target no one believed it, then a member "super bee 950" posted it with a bullet touching each the dot, they immediately started E-sucking his dick.

It would seem that as long as you're a "sniper" that is on "sniper's hide" they will believe it, but if your not and you shoot it half way decent, it would probably be better to not post it.

Take a look at that target, notice that the gun is a K77/22 with a varmint barrel, it's .265 at 75 yds., not quite 100 yds. it's 4 shots.

Do you belive that target?

My guess is no, you don't.

Or how about this one?

This is what the shooter said: "Here are a couple of pics of the last 80 yd. group I shot before heading out onto the gasline. 1/2" is not bad for a new, unbroken in, untuned $160 22 mag sporter with a 20 + year old 2.5x Bushnell scope that I got off Ebay.

This is with the Remington 33gr Vmax ammo."

I didn't shoot this target, just trying to show other people can do it too.

I didn't look through to many, but here is the best 10 shot group I found, it was at 50 yds. however, the thing is all these targets I've posted, including mine, have been shot by plain everyday people, not "snipers" or members of "sniper's hide", or competitors.

BTW: See that white thing between the 2 targets? That's a thumbtack.

it is alot easier to hold a tight group on a target.. once you fire the first shot you hold on it for me.. But moving to each and every target and punching it is way harder.. still not saying you did not do it.. but for me holding a really tight group is more the rifle and ammo

I hate to get involved and I'm not saying you didn't shoot the target but these pictures you're posting for your defense are rediculous. There's a big difference between shooting from a bench rest and putting 10 or more rounds into the same circle versus hitting 16 different circles that are smaller than the scope crosshairs. And there is also a pretty significant difference between 50 and 75 yards verses 100 yards. especially with store bought .22 ammo

It's obvious many, including the offender, don't realize what all it would take to shoot .125 MOA consistently in a 15 shot run. If one doesn't call out the BS, knowing it's wrong, what is that? Being a little bitch like you?

I didn't shoot this target, just trying to show other people can do it too.

I didn't look through to many, but here is the best 10 shot group I found, it was at 50 yds. however, the thing is all these targets I've posted, including mine, have been shot by plain everyday people, not "snipers" or members of "sniper's hide", or competitors.

BTW: See that white thing between the 2 targets? That's a thumbtack.
And here is some more of his targets from a Suhl 150 22lr, 26" Benchmark, barrel 16.5" twist, Factory 2oz trigger, McMillan Edge stock, Hoehn tuner, Weaver T36, Pappas one piece rest with the same grouping as yours but shot at 50yards which would put him at shooting .25 MOA CTC at 100

The best group I have ever shot was slightly less than 3/4" at 200 yds, 5 shot, 243 Win KMV77, shooting off a sandbag and bi-pod. I was shooting 60 gr Sierra HP and 4895 powder. The sun was down behind the mountain and the wind was still. I laid the range out with a Topcon CTS survey instrument, so the range might vary 0.05' :flipoff2: :laughing:

The first shot was a "flyer", as always because at the time I cleaned my barrel after each 5 shots. The other 4 shots touched.

I was in my early 20's and shooting several times a week. I have shot many groups, and made many shots that people said were impossible. Quite often I have shot things I couldn't see (example dimes, thumb tacks, etc.) at 75-100 yards. I just shot where I knew they were by referencing things I could see.
Yes, I have shot deer in the eye on more than one occasion, but quit head shooting them after blowing ones lower jaw off and having to track it (someone else ended up shooting it).

I cannot shoot that well anymore. My eyes and muscle memory aren't as good as they were 15-20 years ago. Also, I have no desire to refine my skills to that level again. I have moved on through different phases, such as shotgunning, practical pistol, cowboy action, and black powder shooting. I can still shoot, this year alone I have shot a squirrel in the foot several times when that is about all I could see using a 32 cal. muzzleloader.

I have good days and bad. There are days I couldn't hit a barn, and the other day I can't miss. Coffee and lack of rest are a huge factor.

I don't know if you noticed or not, but that is nowhere near a .125 group, look at dot #2 it's on the far right side of the dot, now look at dot #9 it's on the far left side of the dot, now if those two dots are put on top of each other they measure .512 from outside to outside of the bullet holes.

You're making the target into something it's not.

BTW: How the fuck can you shoot a .125 group, when the bullet is .223? (.22 mag. bullets mic .223)

using just your numbers and your suggested 2 shot farthest grouping and a common method for inch groupings. 0.512 - 0.223 = 0.289 inch group divide that by 1.047 equals a 0.27 MOA. That's using what you stated as the biggest difference between 2 of your hits.

All of the hits made some contact in the right hemisphere, 11 of the shots were in the lower right quadrant. 1/4 of 1/2 is 1/8 or 0.125. a 0.125 MOA times 1.053 equals a 0.131. Maybe the average CTC of the 15 shots is 0.180 and not 0.131, it's still way better than most accurized, purpose built rifles shooting select ammo.

Even if that was shot at 25 yards, it would still make it a very good group and accurate at around a 0.50 MOA

The range is literally 4 miles at most from my house, when I'm not at school. Cedartown is maybe 20 minutes away, and definitely a nice area. Next time you're in the area shoot me a PM and if I'm back home we'll hit the range up. I'm always up for punching some holes in paper.:smokin:

bring someone from here to witness.

I'm too lazy to look up where Trenton GA is, but I'm heading to a range in Taylorsville, GA on Sunday if you would like to attempt this again.

It sounds like some other guys are a lot closer, I'd be game for verifying this if I weren't 200 miles/3 hours away.

Where is the original thread? What's all the talk of pie plate competition I've missed?

OK, this is ridiculous, since you have somewhat of a grasp of firearms and how they work, I would assume you have a gun? If you do have a gun shoot the target at 100 yds and post it up.

Well since all of us have no idea what it takes, and being as the only way you can truthfully say that, is you do know what it takes and you can make the shot.

So, either post up a target you've shot, or STFU.

Did you read the post? It's about as far from a chickenshit post as there is. Join a couple gun bb's, meet some gun people in real life from them. You'll realize quickly that there can be more bs spewed on a firearm related bulletin board daily that the typical honda forum. It becomes hard to take anyone serious. I mean, how many fawkin "former seal team operatives" or "veterans" do we get here monthly? I'm not going to call the guy out, but I do take everything with a grain of salt. And I agree that if he did that with commercial .22 ammo through a stock .22 and cheapo optic off a bipod...then it's nothing short of awesome.

It'll be a couple of weeks before I can do a plate/target. I won't be able to make it back to my farm 'til then

I've never boasted that I could make the shot nor have I stated it's easy. In fact, I believe the only reference I made to my ability was to state, in jest, that I shoot all of my deer through the eye with a .22.

The concept that appears foreign to you is that a part of accuracy is dependent upon the rifle and ammunition and no amount of ability of the shooter can make up for that part.

I can claim that a thoracic surgeon sucks based on his theory of using a shovel to open a chest, without being a thoracic surgeon myself.

I can't, it takes around an hour or a little over to shoot the 15 dots (Yea, I'm that slow.), I don't think I could stand to adjust and reposition for 45 shots (probably around 3 hrs.), if you just want to see me miss, sure I can shoot each dot 3 times but those last few dots are going to have flyers.

The concept that appears foreign to you is that a part of accuracy is dependent upon the rifle and ammunition and no amount of ability of the shooter can make up for that part.

Yes I do realize that part of the accuracy is achieved by the rifle, what you don't understand is that it doesn't take a $2,000 rifle to achieve results like that.

I'm still waiting on someone, ANYONE to post this target, were they've shot it.

I know of 2 people that are going to shoot it, so I'm just waiting on them, no rush, hopefully they do as good as I did, but as for the rest of you, wheres your target?

Edit: 3 people shooting the target, I didn't catch DRM's post.

I would'nt take either side without seeing it first hand, however, I absolutely believe its possible. As kids my brother and I wound up with some POS chinese bolt action .22 with a cheap ass scope, looked to be based off the marlin 25. We thought it was just foreign junk until we shot it. That little .22 would shoot damn near the same hole everytime. There was 100yd range on the property where we would constantly poke pencils into the backstop and cut them in half. We didn't make every shot, but it was rare to miss.
We were shooting Wal-Mart's Thunderbolt .22s for ammo.

That was probably the only rifle produced in that factory/country that would ever do that, but I have to believe that it is possible the shooter above has a similar rifle.

Proper way is to put video camera on a tripod near target, shoot all shots, then post video on youtube.

I don't have a video camera, plus a 35 minute non stop video on youtube? I hope you don't have dial-up like I do.


I can't, it takes around an hour or a little over to shoot the 15 dots (Yea, I'm that slow.), I don't think I could stand to adjust and reposition for 45 shots (probably around 3 hrs.), if you just want to see me miss, sure I can shoot each dot 3 times but those last few dots are going to have flyers.
