One mile with PGW Timberwolf

[I Dont Care About You]

I guess if you shoot long range enough, it’ll pay for itself over time with reduced misses.

Even with something super expensive like $4 a round 338 Lapua, that'd take 200 misses just to break even.

That’s awesome

But if you want to get an accurate assessment of your groups or score, check load development or shoot without needing a spotter, as long as your bullet is supersonic. The Shotmarker is invaluable!
It makes even shooting a .223 at 1K super easy and actually affordable!

Well done Wheelgun, a mile is a long way and a great accomplishment for her, my farthest hit are at 1410 yards so far, that's the extent of our range, a good spotter doping the wind is the biggest hurtle.

Long range shooting is a team activity.

Yes that is for sure!
For 1,000 meter shooting you can get away without a spotter if you have the dope and are using an Etarget or a fairly large plate steel. Otherwise , it is a crap shoot
and 90% of the time a spotter is not only essential but integral to long range success .
Some experienced and match winning shooters argue that the spotter and scope are even more essential than the shooter and gear, all things being equal, ESPECIALLY for ELR.
I totally agree.

Yes, which challenges me because my wife is absolutely crap at spotting. The finer details of the MIL reticle seems to stymie her a lot of the time and she often confuses left and right.

On the other hand she's quite a good shot and so I end up spotting a fair bit. My next goal is to teach her the ballistic computer so she can work out and dial in her own adjustments.

LOL, that's called Constructive Incompetence, which is if you do a job badly enough, you won't be asked to do it again.
