Since getting into AR's, one of my favorite things to do is bang a little steel while practicing different positions.
My one spot lets me shoot south to north in a little valley, and I can tuck under a big tree for shade.
I scrounged up some t-posts, then bought 4 AR-500 brackets that slide on the top of the posts, and the steel hangs on the hook in one of the 5/8ths holes.
I can't quite get to 400, but ended up setting the posts at 100, 200, 300, and 375.
The 100 yard 8" round steel is right off the muzzle, the 200 8" round target is half way to the cow, the 300 12" square is right over the cow's back,
and the 375 12" square is further left on the little rise at the edge of the woods.
Luckily I was done shooting when the cattle decided to flood the area. I also share the spot with 6 horses and 3 or 4 donkeys.
I was shooting my bone stock Ruger MPR, with a Sightron 3-16x42 on top. I killed 15 or so coyotes with it this past year,
but now it getting regulated to 4th place in the line up.
53 V-Max at 3200 shoots pretty dam good for a stock gun.
I started out shooting off a bipod on the top of the box on my Honda Foreman. Load the mag with five rounds, & one shot each at 1, 2, & 3, then 2 at 375.
Then went prone off the bipod with 5 shots.
Then five more standing, shooting off the tripod.
The 5 sitting on a stool, shooting off the tripod.
And last round of 5, sitting on the ground in my stadium chair, shooting off the tripod again.
So, the tally was five rounds on each target at 1, 2, & 3, and 10 on the 375 target.
