3,600 yard shot

Unbelievable !

Imagine aiming your rifle at a 36″ target placed 3,600 yards away, knowing that somewhere around seven seconds will pass between the time you pull the trigger and impact.

Seems almost impossible, right?

Not for a team from Hill Country Rifles, who partnered with expert instructors from FTW Ranch to attempt the shot.

That's just crazy. At that distance you have to start factoring in the curvature of the earth.

Man, I love me some 375 Cheytac.

I also love their rifles! About 10 years ago I had them completely rework my Rem 700 300 Win Mag. They installed a magnum contoured Lilja barrel. blue printed the action, squared the lugs, mounted the action and glass bedded it in a HS Precision stock and installed a Jewel Trigger. They guaranteed that it would shoot a 3 shot group .5" or less at 100 yards. The sent me a target showing a .35" group with regular ole Hornady 180gr spire pt. ammo. Most everything I've shot out of it keeps 5 shot groups at less than .5"

What an amazing shot!! Looks like he did it in only 3 shots!!

Look at 1:12

The cant on that Picatinny rail is extreme. I bet you can't even zero that rifle short of 500+ yards.

Awesome shot! I am curious:

Noobish question 1: if he hit all 3 shots in the 36" gong at 3600 yards, would his group be considered MOA?

Noobish question 2: if anyone can shoot sub-MOA at 100 yards, could they also be capable (assuming they knew the formulas or had someone tell them where to point at) of making that shot?

That's just, wow.

Yes.

Yes... pretty much. We took a couple of bolt gun/long range newbie guys out last weekend and had them making repeat shots at 500, and respectable shots at 1000 yards.
