BANG! (POOF!)


I first met Phil of Random Nuclear Strikes at last year's Gun Blogger Rendezvous. Phil told me that, after his first Boomershoot, he was hooked on long-range precision shooting, but where he lives he can't really do "long-range." So he's concentrated on the "precision" part. Accuracy Precision is the capacity of your firearm to put multiple shots into very small groups. Precision Accuracy is the ability to put your rounds right where you want them. (Outvoted on the definitions, but there is a reason it's called "precision shooting" - repeatedly placing accurate shots.)

Phil's choice of targets? Pool cue chalks (7/8" cubes) at 200 yards. A slightly less than half minute-of-angle target that, as he says, ". . . even when hit with something as slow moving as a standard velocity 22LR out of a pistol, makes a bigger poof than Charles Nelson Riley"

And now he has video.

I gotta try that.

UPDATE: In comments, Rivrdog recommends paintballs glued to the target board. Great idea!
