Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope you had a great day! Got a chance to make the location for this KYL rack at my place. I actually went back this afternoon in the daylight and did a little more dirt moving to get the angle just right to face my firing position. I should be hitting it head on now! Those last two 4 and 2 inch targets are quite tricky to even see at 500 yards! I did take 1 shot today at the 4, and actually hit it my first try! So, this will be the new challenge for my range. Someday, we may have some of you all come out and try it yourself. Have a Freedom Farm version of the Blackjack challenge!! Come on up Erik Cortina!! lol.

@rosalindstewart7013 Thank you!! I think I will give my idea a try this weekend if I can get out there early enough. Not a thing to do in the dark🤣 That 2 inch is hard to see in the day. No way I can make it in the dark. Might try sometime tho!! Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. Good to see ya again! Have a great weekend!!
@cw2a thank you, CW. I had to get them to extend and add a plate. My OCD wouldn't let me have 1 plate less than Erik Cortina's version. 🤣 It turned out great. I tried the 4 today when I took my dad down to show him. Got it on my first try! From kneeling and rifle on a bag. Not even prone. The 2 will be trickier though. I can do it I think. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day, sir. Have a good evening and a great weekend!! I will try and catch up and find yours as well!
@@viejo2a Thank you, Walter!! It turned out really nice. Now we gotta get you out to Oklahoma and give my version of the Cortina challenge a try!! I am gonna add some difficulty and see if I can step up the challenge level. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving Day. And have yourself an awesome weekend!!
@dalepogue5799 Thanks Dale. Gonna have to get you down for my new and improved Blackjack challenge!! Adding some moving to the game started by Erik Cortina. Gonna try it his way first, then see if I can make the run with my idea!! Hope Thanksgiving has been great. Have a good evening and a great weekend!!
Happy Thanksgiving, Chad. Nice set up, I like it. My typical "long" shot is 350 yards, prairie dog'n. We have made longer shots with the winds normally 10 mph + it gets a little more challenging in South Dakota with a 204 Ruger.
@dougthomas9460 Thank you, Doug. And Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!! I hope it was a great day for you and your family. I got this right at 500. I got it positioned a bit better today in the light. Had the angle a bit off. Funny how that happens when it's so dark you can't see anything 🤣 350 on a prairie dog size with 10 plus winds is a challenge. The 204 Ruger is a speedy little round though!! Should help some with bucking the wind. I will keep working with this and see if I can get it figured out. That 2 inch looks really small. I did hit the 4 today on my first try showing my dad how it works. Quite pleased with that!! Hope you have a good evening and a great weekend up there in the cold!! See you in the next one!!!!
OH! Man! I love it Chad...... would be awesome to shoot at it once..... but don't know about at 500 yds...lol. I think the longest shot I took was about 150 yds...... I just bought a KYL rack with 3 plates from shootingtargets7 that I gonna to put up after I get the range done...... hopefully next spring now....
@@michaeldunn150 Heck yeah. Get your own put up and practice. Then come try mine!! It is a challenge. I got the 4 inch my first try showing it to my dad yesterday after our lunch together. Come on down and give it a try!! It will be fun if nothing else!! Have a great weekend, Michael!!
Nice target rack! Shooting in the dark outside seems cool. The closest thing to that in my experience is shooting on an indoor range with all the lights out except the ones on the targets. I don't really work in the dark, but my labs don't have windows and at this time of year I get to work when it's dark and it's dark again by the time I leave for home. I wish I could update you on my 22 ARC build, but I got a call about 3 weeks ago from the guy that's chambering my barrel and he ordered the wrong length barrel blank so he had to re-order it. Ugh! Now I'm on his rush list since it's already overdue, and he said that it will be mid-December by the time he can get it to me. Gobble gobble! 😁
@DocJustinT Hey, Justin!! Good to see ya, man. Was wondering what happened to you. I figure you have been busy. This time of year, I have to get creative. I do more in the evenings than mornings. So, flashlights on targets and using the lighted reticle to know where the center is at least gets the job done. It is fun, but not the most accurate. Plus, it gets real cold when the sun leaves!! At least worth a try to see how it is. I will do a lot more the next weeks until time fixes itself 🤣 Bummer on your new build! Always something going wrong these days with products. Too many people make simple errors. No pride in doing a good job all the time. I miss the days everyone did their best because it was the right thing to do. Hopefully they get it corrected and pushed to your builder soon and he gets that finished and in your hands in the next few weeks!! Then get it broken in and dialed in. Will be a great cartridge for you!! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Day, Justin. Very happy to see you stop by! I hope you have a good evening and an awesome weekend!! Go try some nighttime flashlight shooting 🤣 See you on the next one!!
@ChadKelly7 yeah, sorry for not stopping by lately, work has been killing me... and we just keep getting more and more work and more people, yet we're all slammed. I've been at this site for 6 years and in that time we went from 4,500 employees up to almost 8,500 at the moment, and everyone is constantly struggling to keep up. I'm one of the more senior staff members since I have 6 extra years at one of our sister sites, so I'm doing my work plus training some of the new hires. I hear ya about the general state of manufacturing anymore, but I think my barrel guy just made an honest mistake... the finished length of the barrel will be 26 inches, and that's the length of the blank he ordered... he probably just had a brain fart and forgot that he needs a couple extra inches to chuck up on in his lathe. Sadly, no night long range for me at the 1,000 yard range down the hill from me since it's a public range (dang rules say only daylight shooting is allowed). Although, a buddy at work has an uncle that lives within an hour away who has a farm and he said we can shoot there anytime, so that might be an option. It's wide open and based on Google Maps it looks like we could easily stretch out to 1,200 yards with plenty of room to spare.
@DocJustinT Yeah, I feel that. Was solo at work last week and first 2 days this week. Help supposed to be back tomo. We shall see. Constant 9am to 9pm days for me then home to do my personal stuff each night. Still tired from it. Hope to start catching up tomorrow!! Good luck getting folks trained up. I never have people work for me that can keep up. I leave them all way behind and I hate slowing down. Heck yeah, give it a try at the friend's place. I am very lucky that I can do pretty much anything I want on my own land. I am aware I am blessed to be doing this the way I do!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope you had a great day!

Dropped a video of my own shooting week or so back.
