Exclamation What is the farthest you've ever shot?

What is the farthest you've ever shot and hit the intended target?

For me:
1,000 yards in June of 2005 for competition 171/200 2x (Savage 10FP)

100 yds at a piece of typewriter paper with my USP 45 just showing off to win a bet (free gatoraid tasted good)

75 yds deer slug 12ga mossberg 500

Festus if things hit the fan I'm heading your way! Don't worry i'll call first. lol.

For me about 250-300 yrds with my 16" AR15 carbine. No problems hitting a man size target. I'd like to try 1000 yrds some day once I get a scoped rifle.

Antelope @ approx. 600 yards. One shot, 6mm Weatherby, 8X scope and a few Milk jug size Targets with 1911 @ 100+ yards. These usually take more than one shot

Default Caribou

Caribou rangefinder measured @ 389yds on the trot. Above the wulik river in AK. Rem 710, 30-06, 180gr silvertips, Burris 3x9x50 scope. Have never attempted anything longer. One shot with kentucky windage, clipped the heart.

I'd rather be lucky than good.

Furthest shot - a couple miles but that bullet got away from me

Intentional:
400m with an AR15 and 4 power scope
100m with various handguns at a 9" steel plate

I'm working on getting into Front Sight's precision rifle class, which goes out to about 1200m. Gotta get Distinguished Grad in the practical rifle class first. Missed it by 7 points last time.
