Yes – I can hit a watch face at 200 yrds, but it needs to be the large watch that a gang banger might wear. It also has to be on the wrist of the gang banger.

I have hit a golf tee at 200yds, prone with sling, iron sights. The tee was marking the previous shot in the X ring of the MR52 target. No video though. Guess it doesn’t count.

Nice to know that instead of supporting traditional competitive shooting events (pistol, rifle, shotgun) that as a hobby we support people who get their jollies by plinking at watches. Nice to know that some see this as a proper representation of shooting in 2018.

I competed yesterday at the Palmyra Sportsman Invitational 3-P / Air Rifle Match yesterday where shooters from all over the country compete each January. Both the 50′ smallbore and 10M air rifle ranges use electronic targets and it is one of the best indoor matches in the US. Would be nice to see an article on this match and how it promotes the shooting sports for all.

Let’s face it. The shooter made a great center hit on a 14×16 inch white steel plate. The watch was just in the impact area. YouTube marksmanship.

I’ve know many through the years that cleaned the 200 yd. slow fire target in 10 shots with both M1’s & M1A’s. Shooting from prone, supported like this “stunt”, an unknown number of times to make the shot for the camera is just that, a stunt and unfortunately getting to be the norm. True marksmanship discipline is going by the wayside for showmanship, glamour and “likes”

I can off my powerchair/ATV, I think. Never tried it but up forthe challenge.
I love mine. I have a Gen 4 mount for the scope. Anyone here anything about them?
Thanks

Will, come off it.

NONE of us, National Record holders or not, are shooting a 1/2 MOA target (the watch face, in the middle) 50% of the time at 200 yards, and I am including the optics guys as well.

The 13X Service Rifle record (on a 1.4 MOA X-Ring) shows the ironclad truth of my statement.

Do it off hand, no sling, with a 11 lb. M1A 10 times @ 200, that would make this old High Power shooter take notice.

Tape the watch to a skinny stick at 200 yards and try that.
