:lmao: COLD BORE!!! TWO THOUSAND YARDS!!! :banana: :hail:

@Magwa, brother, I wish so damn bad, that someone would have recorded that speech I gave you before that shot... :laffs:

98Z5V · May 25, 2025

The absolute best part of that video right there is @Matt.Cross standing there, completely speechless, looking like he can't even comprehend what just happened. Which was a 2k Cold Bore by @Magwa. He followed it up with another shot, 2nd shot, Impact, immediately afterwards. First shot was 3" left of dead center, right at the top of the plate - blew the target flasher right off the plate. I told him to send another one right now, same weather conditions, same dope, do it, get back on that gun right now. He hit it on the second shot, 3" RIGHT of center, top of the plate. :hail:

If you measured 2-shot groups... That's a 6" GROUP at TWO THOUSAND YARDS...

@Magwa, brother, I wish so damn bad, that someone would have recorded that speech I gave you before that shot...

what a lot of you do not know is that i had been working on that gun so hard for the whole summer trying to make it the best it could be , and knowing that I was just a rank beginner at this type of shooting. but I applied all that i had ever learned from hunting , flint knapping every lesson I had learned gave me the will to try and do this for it to come out the way it did was a result of you guys and your encouragement.... I could not have done it without all of you 98Z5V, JBMatt, you guys showed it was possible and the best thing was you were there with me we all celebrated together...

98Z5V that speech made me nervous as hell but then I laughed to myself and said it is just another elk another deer, just another shot this is what you have been working so hard to do so Just DO IT! I was flabbergasted when it hit.. the second shot was the easy one the first one was the hard one ... thanks to all my brothers for giving a old man a sliver of Glory... I will never for get it ...

That is just ... INCREDIBLE ... WOWSERS. Maybe someday I'll be good enough to hit 1000 or 1500 yds...(maybe).

Giving you the Congratulatory Cold Bore Hug was the best part of it, brother! :banana:

I didn't hug @JBMatt when he got his 2k Cold Bore... I'm just sayin'... :popcorn: :lmao:

Well anyone who cold bores anything at a mile or even 1500 or 1200 should get a atta boy hug! when I hit that the second time it was like being on stage live playing for a huge crowd and knowing "THE WHO" were on next you know you did good but the big time is coming up behind you ..... but for a fleeting few minutes you are the big time..... every lesson , every life moment all of your life has brought you to this one moment.... now you know you can do it enjoy it ,have fun and share the good times with those that got you there . And don't be afraid to succeed it is what all the hard work is for....

Brother when you followed up the first shot proving it wasn't a fluke, you're not the opening act you are the main act :thumbup:

Yes, he is. The Main Act. I stated that those two shots were 6" apart, at the top center of the plate - but I think they were more like 4" apart... @JBMatt has the picture of the plate, and the impacts...

@Magwa... Respect, brother... :hail:
