SOLD OUT in just over 2 hours...

The 1,000 yard shoot on 17-June-2017 was a great success. We had a total of 17 shooters with an exciting finish. The overall winner, Yuriy (shooter 11) who was in 2nd place the entire day, needed 5 points on his last 5 shots to tie but he missed his first 3 shots at a 1,000 yards, so he need to either shoot the 8” gong once or the 10” gong twice with this last two shots. He went the 10” gong option and with his last two shots he then hit the 10" gong twice at a 1,000 yards to win the event. A big applause to Yuriy for this exciting come from behind win!!

I want to congrat 2nd place winner Aaron (shooter 4) for his 2nd place finish, he was solid shooter all day and wow'ed the other shooters his first 15 shots only missing one 12" target at 570, 600, 700 yards. Lastly, but certainly still impressive, a big congrats to these shooters who hit at least one target at each distance:

Scott (shooter 8)
Yeriy (shooter 11)
Bill (shooter 15)
Deryk (shooter 16)

Yuriy won $100 and an engraved 50 BMG bullet that he'll receive in the coming weeks.

The 3 suggestions by our shooters for our next 1,000 yard shoot are: Wind flags at 600 and 900 yards, no grass around targets to better see misses, and option to have spotters. Next event will be in the fall with a maximum of 25 shooters.

Note: We do not have a 1,000 yard range at Washington County Tactical Range. Event was held a friend's farm and can only be used during special event days.
