Vickers Iron Sights Challenge From The 2015 Sniper's Hide Cup

By Bob Owens | 2:33 PM | June 05, 2015

I was asked by Mile High Shooting folks to create a stage for the 2015 Sniper’s Hide Cup in Colorado. I wanted it to be a challenge and a challenge it was. You had to take 5 shots with an Accuracy International .308 Bolt Gun with only it’s backup iron sights at 200, 300, 400, and 500 yards, with a tiebreaker 12×12 plate at 500. The winner of the Challenge wins the gun. Before the competition I wanted to shoot the stage to see how it turned out. Check it out.
