Welcome to the 8th episode of the Texas Plinking 1 MOA At 1,000 Yards Challenge. A monthly video series where I let 5 fans come out with their equipment and attempt to shoot a 10" gong at 1,000 yards in under 10 shots. If they hit it, they can use their remaining shots on the 5" gong. The 10" gong is worth 10 points and goes down 1 point after every shot. The 5" gong is worth 20 points and goes down 2 points after every shot. Once both are hit, the challenge is complete and each unfired round is an additional point. New episodes go live on the 1st Monday of every month!

Thank you for having me over, Brandon. It is so much fun. Once I am done with my diet of humble pie, I will get back to the range and practice with the 338.

That's cheating. U can't use a 338 at 1k. Lol

That 30-06 was stacking rounds on top of each other even though he wasn’t hitting the target. That was still super impressive

Dude couldn't maintain a firing position from shot to shot, he doesn't even have the basics of marksmanship.

@@silvermediastudioDissagree with you on that. He probably has more rounds downrange than you and me put together. You also can obviously see that he also has some kind of health issue that gives him a tremor. He just couldn’t get the wind right otherwise almost all his shots were within Moa.

@silvermediastudio

@@stevenlewis6781 Disagree with me...on what? 1. How many rounds do you think he "has downrange"? How many rounds do you think I have "downrange"? And by what basis or data did you arrive that those numbers? Does total round count alone indicate skill, knowledge, or overall ability? 2. Health issues and tremors don't preclude the marksmanship fundamental of maintaining position, and therefore natural point of aim, from shot to shot. His ammo box was too far away, and I can tell just by watching that he's compensating for cant through muscle tension, not position. 3. What you are attributing to wind could just as easily be attributed to not establishing NPOA, which typically results in horizontal stringing. This is further supported by the flag behind the targets, that is generally motionless throughout the firing sequence and what appears to be vertical boiling on the heat shimmer on the inset video. Further, none of the other shooters reported significant wind holds. 4. It is impossible, given the video footage and data provided, to determine what group size he would have shot if it was against a witness/paper target with a finer aiming point and zero wind. Claiming he was within MOA is totally baseless.

Dean literally stacked 7 rounds into a 6 inch group at 1000 with a .308 that's absolutely wild. Sure he didn't hit the target but his rifle and ammo were top notch.

That first 30-06 is beautiful

One of my favorite series to watch.

Scars have cool stories, you know.

I second this, he’s out at my local range (or I’m at his is more accurate lol). Great dude and I really thought he’d hit that 1/2MOA target because I’ve seen him stack rounds at 1,000yds.

Never thought I'd be into this, but it's addictive to watch. I wish i could find an area near me with even 200 yards to shoot.

YES. No problem with the 100 yds stuff but I can’t find anything around me offering with poor man $ to actually shoot past 200. What to do when you have the desire, young at heart, old in age with fixed income?? I’m not whining, just jealous I guess. This is one of my favorite shows, I’m now commenting on replays haha.

When Deon hit the white plate cold bore, I gasped, but then I remembered he was going for the orange one. That is a shame, he should get a little trophy for that at least ;)

Hey Brandon how come you stopped marking/numbering the misses? Was kind of cool especially to see shots walked in..

This! ⬆️

For myself, this is the best competition on KZread. Brandon, your fine-tuning of the Challenge is perfect. And it is great to see so many people with the same interest having fun competing.

It would be cool to see the red x’s or numbers by the missed shots again by the targets.

That 30-06 was a tac driver! Super consistent

First off- This is my favorite series/video to watch! brings me back to that show on the history channel, TOP SHOT. Mabey you could do a special every now and then by having an iron sites only match. Just make the gong 2 MOA or something like that? yes I think we all agree we want you shooting in these videos. I look forward to seeing what rifle you select for it. Keep em coming!

Glad to see more mature shooters like myself participating in the game. Love this channel.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how consistent these people were shooting. That’s good stuff. The wind is the biggest factor keeping a lot of those shots from being hits. Good video 👍👍

I was saying “YES” too when that 30-06 hit!

Always looking forward to the 1000yrd challenge

The guy and his -06 was the best I've seen so far. Very cool.

Brandon we love seeing you shoot at the end! These episodes are done just right so length of episode is never an issue if it goes longer than normal.

That was so neat for an older guy. Thank y'all for giving him a chance to be young again

I have to say, seeing 30-06 dead center of that target was the best thing I have seen in a while! Great shooters all around...love seeing the variance of rigs being used...6.5 CM Shorty is pretty cool! One of these days I may make the trek from Missouri my friend! And you should shoot EVERY time...who cares about the length of video haha! Thanks again for taking the time and effort to make these competitions happen!

The first Rifle looks crazyyyyy amazing, what a beauty!

There was a left to right somewhere. Knowing what the other guys were shooting they should have been able to come up with a close wind hold. It looked very consistent. Also that 30-06 was a hammer.

Must say the first shoor's gun is very accurate 👏

This is one of my favorite KZread series. Will there be a leaderboard top 5 match at the end of the year? Also Deon will get the gold his rifles are to sexy not too.

Love seeing the venerable 30 odd 6. Hope there's more of them

One thing I notice right away in these series is people consistently start with not enough wind. Which is ok. But then you rarely see guys make a bold correction and miss pro side (up wind). You saw Bubba miss , correct too much and then impact. That’s how it’s done. People are scared to correct bold enough. Well done sir

Most in this series don't read the reticle after each shot to correct windage or elevation holds. You can tell Bubba did and you can see Brandon do so when he shoots. Shoot, read where the miss was and then correct with holdover or do a correction with your windage or elevation turret.

@ehd1990

I noticed that too. I sometimes see elevation adjustments when they aren't needed and rarely windage adjustments.

Come on adjust to left with that short barrel. So close but everything right. I was so rooting for you. Great job anyway you are way way better shooter than I, I’m just a dreamer. Love these episodes and this channel 🇺🇸

I look forwards to these everytime. I love seeing the different setups. Everybody is very skilled and it’s a pleasure seeing them operate.

Expensive glass and expensive rifles. Truly comes down to the shooter. Great video. Thank you.

Man, Bubba's rifle was a super machine. Shocked he didn't get that 1/2 moa shot!

Awesome series! Enjoy watching it every time!

Definitely enjoy watching you shoot at the end. Especially when it’s something that’s a little unique or extra challenging

As always, great stuff. I like the extended videos and learning about everyone's set-up. I feel the frustration that some of the shooters were feeling!!

Best part about the end of the month is watching this series. This series got me into long range despite having no where around me with this type of range. I actually took vacation to Wyoming in October to visit a friend and went to a range and got a hit at 1100 yards with a .308. Although it took many more rounds than 10! Plus I had a spotter that fed me windage and elevation adjustments. I hope you keep doing this series for years to come because I want a go at the challenge but I need alot of practice beforehand!

Love these videos! Can't wait until the next one comes out. The shooter Deon definitely comes from South Africa originally.

Aweh! Deon has amazing taste in rifles.

One of these days, I'm going to work up the nerve to try it. Until then, keep it going. I enjoy watching.

Rewatched a few earlier episodes to psych up for this one!❤

I love this series because it shows how different barrels, calibers, bullet weight, actions, glass, etc perform all in a quick 30 min video! It’s really helped me hone in on what I want my ELR build to be. Thanks!

Jeez! Brian's first ~5 shots were all a half MOA (ignoring his scope-adjustments). Bubba was also pretty accurate and ... is the only person I saw use his hips to adjust his aim.

Love watching these. One thing thats noticable is guys doing an lot of moving around and getting on and off the rifle just to reload. Theres a lot of real bad fundamentals, bad follow thru and not keepiing both eyes open. Its nice to see this on video because it gives me something to work on just starting with basic fundamentals.

I love these shoots! I look forward to the next! God bless all here.

Brandon....... Thank you for producing awesome videos. I really enjoy watching them and always look forward to what is next. All the shooters should be proud of themselves for taking a chance to show their skills. They all did their best and no one should ask any more. I love the setup that Bubba has. Of all the aftermarket stocks available today, I am very impressed with MDT's.

My favorite series 👍🏼
