Hell - I was at that range, last September, and never even saw the Bison, let alone take a shot at it. Only thing I saw out at that distance was something resembling a Barn Door that bwaites and I ranged.
What is absolutely mind blowing is that this guy does it with a milsurp Swiss K31 Straight Pull he'd picked up for $99, chambered in 7.5x55 Swiss.
Yeah, he walked it in. Impressive, nonetheless. It's a feat just ID'ing the target with the naked eye, let alone putting rounds on it.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the bison that we shot from 700 yards up Buffalo Canyon next to Cowboy Town. They are shooting way right of Cowboy Town from the 1000 yard range. That's why the bullet is splashing right and hitting at the back foot or thereabouts.
Awesome!

That is just amazing. Iron sights? I don't even see how you could do the hold over. "Well done" seems an understatement

Holy crap, bwaites! I checked on Google Earth and the 700 yard bison @ Buffalo Canyon aligns perfectly at 2240 yards to the 1000 yard benches. Nice call.

He was going for a Guinness world record. I'm not sure of the parameters or official record title. The only thing I know for sure is they had to have surveyors out to confirm the distance.

I was going to try both the 1500 and that shot next time with the .338, but now that it's been done with open sights.....

The buffalo target is 800yds from the shooting position in Baffalo Canyon. We shot it a bunch in February in the rain and sleet, but it was painted black then. It's way up in the top of this picture, but you can't see it.
