1,000 Yard Shooting (M1D Garand Sniper Rifle)

[Badger]

WOW!! Beautiful setup there!! I’m slowly drawing my wife into shooting… she will go out occasionally so long as we’re not out very long, I feel she will come around in time…

I’m just curious, what was the elevation of the location where this shooting took place. I’m trying to show that while a 168 may become unstable at altitudes close to sea-level, (at 1,000 yards) they do not destabilize as quickly at higher elevations. All my long range shooting is above 3,500 feet elevation, and the wood that is mounted behind the metal plate has not shown any key holing effects.
Thanks!

Thanks... be careful what you wish for, as she shoots better than I do.

I mentioned that Im "easing" my wife into this... here is a short clip of her shooting our M1D. (She likes the bi-pod on it) She is nowhere near what your wife is doing, but she is gradually having more fun with it...Eighteen years of marrage, she has come this far anyways...

Mag30th, excellent videos. It is nice to see what the old warhorses can still do in original configuration.

I think that a lot of the current crop of service rifle and cowboy shooters modify the heck out of them and lose thier appreciation of what these fine old firearms were originally designed for.

Don't let the critics get you down and keep posting those great videos.
