    Very nice shooting.

    What guns are the Creedmoors built on?

    Good shooting as always. I'm thinking of rebarreling my 308 to a 6.5CM.

    Very cool. The vapor trails were cool to see on camera.

    As someone who has never had the opportunity to shoot a rifle at anything close to those kind of ranges, I just learned a LOT watching the way those bullets arced into the targets. THis is an awesome piece of footage IMO.

    Great video. I looked at some of your other posts on your channel and saw your 6 y.o. shooting the .223 at 450 yards. Can't wait to show that to my wife later, every time she sees kids shooting she wants to get to the range.

    Great shooting! I love seeing the bullet trace. Saw it for the 1st time for real this summer spotting for my uncle when we were shooting at 500. Iron sighted M1 Garand, M1A and an AR with 3x ACOG.

    As with everyone else, I really enjoyed watching this!

    What size were the targets?

    Not sure on the exact size of the targets, everyone just brings what steel they have... I do know the 700 yard target was 12 inches.

    Well I had a blast at the match over the weekend!

    How much wind are you dealing with at that site Clayne? I only have a 500 yard range to shoot on. I shoot a .223 at that distance and don't have any problems as long as the wind isn't real strong. Usually the wind blows right in on the shooting location so it's hard to read it well for me anyway. Cross winds are much easier IMO.

    Nice shooting there for sure. I'm still amazed at what your girl was doing. I didn't even start my kids shooting until the were 7 and then it was .22 only. They were 10 before I turned them loose with a centerfire. They did learn to shoot though. My son can pretty much match what I do and my daughter isn't far behind. If she practiced she would be better than all of us. I've even got my wife shooting well with a handgun and it took me years just to get her to pick one up. She never minded me doing it but she didn't trust herself enough. Now she sees she can do it just like everyone else.

    Thanks Guys,

    Cee Zee, in the 500-600-700-800-1000 yards video the wind was not bad, only like half a mil at 1000 yards with the 6.5 Creedmoor

    In the match it was much more wind.

    Wow, very cool. Good shot of the bullet trace as well as mirage during the 1000yd string. Looks like you guys have your comeups pretty well sorted!
