Welcome to the 9th 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!

I think he dialed correctly. the first shot was 2 MOA high and left, so he should have dialed 5 clicks low and 5 clicks right. but he only did 2 for each. and the shot landed exactly where it dialed (it's a good gun). then the next one, he should have gone 3 more for each but he only did one and only for the windage.

That 224V!!! Impressive as hell.

I have a Bergara BMP and really enjoyed seeing this modified one perform. It was nice to see how he kept the stock chassis. Totally understand; I love that chassis and have also added an ARCA rail to mine. That's about the only thing I'd like to see Bergara incorporate into the next gen. Especially when I compare it to much more expensive rifles like the Tikka T3X TAC A1 which doesn't have adjustability without tools, or accuracy international stocks that still use keymod rather than MLOK.

Mom is awesome! Love this channel and the friendly competition spirit it has!!!

I’m blown away that the shooters that do this shoot don’t read their miss and quickly apply the correction to the tgt !!! I admire them tremendously for trying and having the fortitude to do the shoot. Having cameras and an audience is different than shooting without them. Thanks for the video!!!

@@rascalmatt6713 seems that you didn't understand my explanation so i'll try to write in in a different way. The original commenter was surprised that some of these shooters dont just observe the impact and adjust accordingly as it seems so clear and obvious to us watching the video. This is because we see a much clearer and zoomed in video of the target than the shooters see in their scope. Yes, obviously you can see the targets at 1000 yards but definitely not as big or as clearly as you can in this video

Cant wait to see a PSA Saber 10 on here

Love that the guy with the $400 scope dominates. I've said that about Arken scopes the EP line is good enough to not be a limiting factor in your performance.

Thank you for continuing this series. This is a great way for the competitors to train without the assistance of a spotter, and to make improvements on those skills they will need to compete in long range matches. It would ne nice to see how much they all improve in another match at your range.

I appreciated when you showed shots on the image numbered. Made it easier to see what type of grouping was occurring (neglecting holdover adjustments, etc.). Cool seeing a 224 valk. Capable cartridge, but without a spotter you are hampering yourself.

Can’t believe how engaging this content is. Keep it coming.

Jason , Good to meet you at yesterdays match , we had a good squad of people just having fun ...

I still swear up and down if I didn't live in PA I would love to try this great series

Excellent series on bringing anyone on the show to shoot 1moa at 1K. Really like the rifle and cartridge breakdowns before they shoot. Great information. Jonathan bringing a cartridge out that I never heard of is pretty cool. He mentioned the cartridge being 'slow' at 2,700fps...amazing. Wondering how fast those can go at their standard speed with the weight he's using.

The shots were close so he was trying to make a small adjustment and get the hit before the wind changed. He may have gone a Little fast but he was trying to take advantage of what information he was getting from the last shot, when you think about the dispersion of the shots it’s almost just bad luck that he didn’t get a hit.

these cartridges was original designed for bench rest shooting. So there was no need for ejection when your single feeding. So you can see with my BRA, my ejection was weak, that’s due to the short case not pressing again that ejector pin well because of the sharp angle as it is being pulled out of the chamber, compared to maybe a longer case like the 308 length, the angle isn’t as steep. To fix this problem, I would have to order a custom action with a smaller ejection port
