I didn't have an exact distance, because I don't have a rangefinder, but from what my eyes told me it was about that. I don't have pics because it wasn't a regular target. I hit a 18" by 22" piece of plywood 4 out of 6 times with WidowMaker. I don't know how good that is, but hopefully not bad for my first time at that distance. Let me know what you guys think, and next time I'll show you the target, and set-up.

That would be good because most people are part of the pictures or it didn't happen club.

You guesstimated dope for a "900-1000" yard shot and actually hit the target?
You have luck. Now build skill.

I hit a matchbox once, first shot. I guessed the distance at about 980m because my rangefinder battery was flat. My brother thought it a lot closer, about 80m. We still argue about that to this day.

Sometimes you guess it and let it fly I've been there. I've made a couple of shots over the years that I couldnt repeat if I had to. I had a deer run past a hunting blind in Texas one time I had a 30-30 winchester with open sights I tracked it left to right till I ran out of window tossed the rifle to my left shoulder aimed out the right window and shot it in the head running.

Usually, I'd rather be lucky than good. Just don't ask me to do it twice!
