Shooting 400 yards with a red dot.

[Dale Gribble]

So my first real test was at the 200 yard range at Talon. I didn't do it prone, too many other shooters and I dislike hot brass down my neck.

From the bench using a sandbag with the red dot and the Matech iron sight I was pretty comparable. My groups were around 10", with most of the spread being windage. I will need to get a spotting scope I can use when prone, or a shooting buddy.

Task is seeming not as hard as I thought, especially if I am shooting for a 18" gong. Of course none of us are sure what Razzman has in mind.

Damn, Dale. You did pretty good.

But I gotta say this . . .

wind at 200 yards on a range protected on three sides? Unless it was gale force . . . . nope. It wasn't wind.

But you still did pretty darned good for a beginner using the wrong optic for precision shooting.

Im not blaming wind, just explaining how the group was shaped, spread horizontally vs vertically. I blame all bad shooting on the operator.
