Shooting 22LR at 1000 Yards

- **PLEASE READ FOR MORE INFO, COMMON FAQ's/COMMENTS**
Never thought this video would become so popular, here are some FAQ's/comments:
1. "You're not the first one to shoot 22LR at 1000+ yards"
- Yes, we were aware of that, we chose 1000 yards because it was a nice number. There are videos of longer shots and documented distances significantly further. We were not trying to set a record.
2. "Why did you use sub-sonic ammo"
- We used the same ammo we shoot matches with, it is consistent and we knew it could make the distance.
3. "The bullets weren't tumbling!"
- Yes, we are aware of that. Kevin mentions it in the video when he found the first impacted round, but at the end we realized they all hit at a consistent angle and were all hitting nose-first.
4. "Will you share the 3d print file of the periscope device?"
- Kevin has decided to keep the file private.
5. "There are empty casings on the ice when the video starts, are you lying about the round count?"
- No, we did not arrive and just start shooting at 1000 yds. Dozens of rounds were shot for zero verification and within 400 yards to verify if we could see bullet hits on the ice (which we could not).
6. "Did you clean up the brass"
- Yes, of course. We are not monsters.
7. "This was not safe, no solid backdrop, people can walk out on the ice!"
- We did extensive planning to achieve this safely. Behind the target is hundreds of yards of marshland that is essentially impassable by humans. Kevin was down range, way off to the side, behind a berm and behind trees, at his own discretion. The lake was surrounded by dense forest and difficult terrain, people would not have easily walked onto the lake between the shooter and the target; they would also have made lots of noise in the brush. The common "entrance" to the lake was behind us where the fishermen were. Furthermore, Kevin would have been able to spot someone about to walk into the target area and call cease fire as we were on radio the entire time.
8. "Why is this video so long, no one care about the details" or "This video should have gone into more detail, you didn't explain X, Y, Z".
- Clearly, we cannot satisfy all the audience. I index the timeline and put time stamps in the description. You can skip to where you'd like to watch easily. We also have a "Bonus Footage & Behind the Scenes" video for those who want more details (link below).
9. "This is not impressive at all, 7 hits in 240 shots! You guys are losers!"
- We're sorry we couldn't impress you, that will keep us from sleeping at night. This was our first go at 22LR at "ridiculous distances", I'm sure more skilled shooters can do better. We didn't try this to show our "skills" at shooting, this was to push the limits of our equipment and see if it was possible with what we had. It's also neat being able to say we shot 22LR at 1000 yards, most people won't put in the effort to do that (because realistically there is no point to this besides having fun).
Check out the bonus footage & behind the scenes here: • 1000 Yard Shot - Bonus...
We did it! There was a ton of planning and effort involved in making this happen. Countless hours of preparation and lots of hard work paid off when Kevin and I were able to make hits at 1009 yards with the 22LR. Our last 3 impacts were within 7 rounds. Total rounds fired for the day was 230, 7 impacts in total. This is not about "skill", as long as you can pull off a decent shot, it's about patience, dedication, and commitment.

Thanks for making the video
I can't remember the number of times that I've argued with "Know it all/ know nothing folks"
about just how powerful the ol' .22 LR round is.
The .22 is one of the most under rated rounds, and yet in the hands of a good shooter, they are deadly.
They're not to be underestimated!
You guys sure proved just how far that little bit of powder can fling that small bit of lead,
truly awesome!
They’re not necessarily tumbling. But they are definitely coming down at a steep angle. Actually that first round looked exactly how you’d expect at that angle!
If I recall correctly, a .50 BMG has a mid-flight trajectory height ~30 or so feet above line of sight at 1000 yards. Given the .22's much slower velocity and poorer ballistic coefficient, it's max height must be much more. 100 feet???
@@prairiepucker9392 yeah it’s got to be pretty high. Also depends on cartridge, bullet, rifle and barrel length. Temperature, obviously low here elevation and the like.
@@prairiepucker9392 it doesn’t have but a fraction of the weight obviously. That is what makes the 50 a tough shot once you get past that magic distance….she just wants to fall out of the sky! They also call it double gravity distance!
Yes, that's quite correct. The spinning longitudinal axis (lengthwise) tends to maintain the orientation of the bullet at the angle of launch from the muzzle. So, it'll strike at the same angle relative to the horizontal. Artillery projectiles do the same thing. Arrows do not since they are actually flying guided by a tail.
@@nonsibi1087 thanks for the information!
that muzzle vel is understated if anything due to cold. add to that the dense, cold air slowing the bullets faster still and this is even more challenging than the distance suggests.
This is one of the coolest videos I have ever watched. At first, I was really impressed with the drone footage, which was really impressive. But you got more cool footage in one video than I think I've ever seen before. Thanks for posting this video!
The bullet is not tumbling. It is spinning at high RPM and has gyroscopic stability. The bullet is a little gyro. When the bullet arcs over and comes down at that steep angle, the change of angle causes the gyro to precess to the side. So the bullet hits with a sideways aspect.
If the twist is fast, the higher RPM will cause the bullet not to arc over. It will hold the high angle it was shot at, and come down, very nose high.
That's an ice setup, you guys really snow what you're doing, I really lake this video. I hope you respond to this comment, but I know it's a long shot.
😂😂😂😂😂
Bro ain't gonna reply he's ice cold
@@maxhearld1035 lol
Freaking hilarious!!!!!
Wow! You're a very good comodian. Very flushing funny!!!
*My biggest takeaway is that while a money shot is few and far between, the .22 STILL appears to have some degree of lethality even at that distance!*
Sounds like it is very dangerous still.
The 22lr can go out to 2000 yards when angled at like 45 degrees. So yea, it still has some ruin your day power at 1000 yards
Very cool. This Periscope thing is intriguing. I have never seen or heard of such. Nice looking rifle by the way. 👍
Epic work lads! Thanks for putting in the effort to capture this memorable moment. Appreciate it and keep it up!
Cheers, ASC.
Your excitement is contagious! Well done boys!
Looks like you guys were having so much fun. Too cold for me though. The only ice I see comes out of the freezer
Awesome!!! Very cool video, love the channel. I just got a cz 457 MTR, still setting it up. Been watching your videos to get me by until I can shoot. Love your content, keep it up!
Unbelievable guys. Great shooting! This video is spectacular. Good luck with your new career. ⛄️
Boys … If you are going to repeat this winter time exercise….. please be wearing ice cleats
From Leo: Looked like a fun experiment. I am amazed that any found that target. That is more like bombardier than a rifleman. I am a National class PALMA competitor and I know what it takes to get 15 out of 15 shots of 7.62 ammo into a 10 inch target ring at 1000. To attempt it with a .22 rimfire took a lot of work, The wind drift must have been huge. I salute your efforts.
As someone who is interested but knows nothing, do you think it being on a lake, tucked down between two hills would keep the wind drift down or make it worse?
@@jonathanlunger2775 A lot depends on the direction of the wind. An uneven swirling wind is far harder to compensate for than even a heavy constant wind. A 9mph wind from the left for two hundred yards followed by something different for 300 yards and different again after that is really tough. Add to that the elevation they had to use adds that variable. Wind 6 feet from the ground is different than the wind 25 feet off the ground. Their experiment was a tough exercise.
I would like to say thanks for this video. I enjoyed all parts of it, and I have subscribed.
That was really well done. Well conceived, thought out, set up and accomplished. Then very well presented.
Thank you.
This is a great video. It shows the importance of knowing what's behind your target.
Cold air is thicker hence more drag on projectile equal lower fps equal lower degree of accuracy due to gravitational pull. Shell brass was cold enough to stop powder from burning as hot thus slightly retarding powder rate of burn equals less volatility due to a more stable propellant.
Good show, fellas!!!!! Really enjoyed it!!!!!
I like the way your honest with your shot counts between hits
Yeah, we're not about looking like super heroes. This is what it took, and we're very happy with that!
@@Womfat hey from Ireland I'm enjoying your videos
Lol you guys are nuts! Talk about a good time. The artwork was great as well😂😂
Got a 22 coming in the next few days, this totally got me pumped up, your enthusiasm is contagious! also order 100 .22 stinger 32grain cp-hp. I cannot wait to test it out! Thanks friends!
Nicely done guys! That's a great location for this kind of thing.
This shows a 22 can shoot a long way. So many people think it can not. Thanks for the video.
it is written on the box of ammo, "dangerous within 1.5 miles"
@@trimbaker1893 yes it is.
@@HOOSIERDADDY385 My folks schooled us on this fact before we were allowed to use our .22 unsupervised. "never shoot if there is open sky behind the target, never point the rifle at anything you do not intend to shoot" Thanks Mom, Thanks Dad. That was over fifty years ago... My folks are passed on now, but the lessons live.
@@trimbaker1893 and great lessons they are. 👍
@@HOOSIERDADDY385 right on
Absolutely AMAZING! I now have to try this! What a challenge! 7 hits out of 250 rounds! Now the rest of us have got to TRY and beat your record! Question! Can you do video on extra scope MOA mirror? Love to figure out how to make it. Or even better....How about a separate video on it!! Congrats guys! Totally Assume!!
Much time & effort went into this I’m sure but it was fun to watch !
Love this Awsome set up awsome shootin' and filming.
Awesome. Loving your content.
Pure fun to watch! Cheers guys! I'm from Quebec... I also shoot in the snow every winter!
Congrats guys!!! That’s awesome!
This was awesome to watch and hear those bullets fly by
What a great video! Nice work Gentlemen 👍
Very cool science project guys, I really enjoyed.
I have a CZ457 Vermonter however I'm not up to this challenge. Happy to shoot at 200 yards. This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
This is great! My 11 year old loves shooting and does light competition with our sportsman's club she took a keen interest in this experiment as well. She uses standard velocity for competition as well.
Great video. Really enjoyed watching
Great video guys. Thank you!
The bullet looks like it should if it was coming down from a high trajectory, and that is what a 1000 fps 22lr would need to do to travel 1009 yards!
Hey from Australia
Nice shooting guys congratulations , great that you were able to find the projectiles to see 1000 yards is a long way for a subsonic.22lr maybe you can stretch it out to a mile next time .
The mile is almost impossible. That would be aprox maximum range 22 LR can reach, and angle of elevation like 30°. Artillery 🙃
The first bullet he found didn't look like it was tumbling so much as it had to have had an insane amount of downward angle when it hit the target due to the range. 1009 yards! Awesome!! Next time try it from someplace WARM!! I got chilled just watching this!! LOL!!!
That bullet was not tumbling. It was hitting at an angle from the way it was shot and that is why it was bent at an angle.
That is amazing; in part because you almost don't believe it will work. I hit a 1000-meter steel target (12" sq.) eight times out of 22 shots with my Savage 116 Weather Warrior, firing 6.5mm x 284 Norma. My scope was at 33minutes of elevation. It was a real bucket list moment and a LOT of work with three weeks of working up to 1000 m. Congratulations!
Nice work/play! I shot my Daisy at 200 yards. The bb tumbled the whole distance and left a 1/16 dent in a hunter's arm. He didn't mind, saying he loved to help out with serious ballistics tests.
How do you know when a sphere "tumbles", versus spins ?
Bro, great video man! You really should have more subs!
Thanks, appreciate that
Great video man
Awesome guys, good job!!!!!!
Very cool video concept and great shooting. Sub Sonic 22 at that range is awesome!
GREAT JOB MEN IM SO PROUD OF YOU BOTH !!! KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK !!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That is great. Looks like you had so much fun.
Nice work guys. The angle you assumed the bullets hit however is actually opposite…the bullets, as long as they stay stable, struck the target at the same angle as the barrel when they exited the muzzle. If you ever wander down a centrefire rifle range at the longer ranges you will notice bullets on the ground that hit base edge first then flip and bend the tip of the bullet. This is why a lot of WW2 shells didn’t go off as at really long rang they hit side on or base first NOT tip first ! 😀
Incorrect. Most of the shells fired at launching angle up to 80°, strike ground nose first
You guys really had a blast, what a great idea! Next time in front of your target, hang a turkey, maybe some ribs, and a coconut,a watermelon, just see what is left in the old 22lr after 1000 yards! I am very impressed with your shooting!!!! The only thing wrong with your idea is that I didn't think to try it 30 years ago!!! Great video, I'll be watching....
so cool that the home made charlie tarac worked as expected. Great job guys!
I’m amazed the wind didn’t blow you out on that ice. Very cool to see.
I wonder if you had shot over a chrono if all of the hits left the barrel at the exact same speed. Seems that a couple FPS could make a big difference at that distance.
Even at this distance the tiny 22lr still got some punch.....
A Canadian Moment
Haha, you bet! 🍁
Can you imagine being a mile or two down ice fishing or something and seeing little bullets sliding across the the frozen water. LOL 😂😂😂
Looks like your Forward Observer (FO) did a good job of sending corrections to the Fire Direction Center (FDC) and Gun Crew to achieve Effects on target. Rounds complete. End of mission. Well done.
Great Adventuring job, guys!
Commendable show young men..commendable indeed! Nice work!
Very impressive guys!
I was surprised how much energy those little rounds still had at 1000 yards!
I was surprised they had any energy at that range
@@slidey1788 There was in instance in the UK where someone was killed with a .22LR which was shot over a hill side by accident and it killed a man over a mile away who was sun bathing and it landed in his eye socket.This was about hundred years ago and it's documented in law here, they estimated the retained energy was around 12ft lbs.
On the box of the old school 22lr yellow jackets it states they are dangerous up to a mile.
what a great way to spend the day! kudos
Awesome guys, good job.
Homeboy has a woodsource jacket!
Glad to see some locals shooting around the back lakes.
What a cool idea.
Well done fellas.
Cool 😎 video guys. Very entertaining
Well done 👍🏻
Great video as always, it is pretty hard to find a range to shoot 1000yrd here in ON.
It’s hard to imagine that you have to write a defensive blurb of explanations to appease couch potatoes.
That was fun to watch, I can imagine the fun it would of been setting it up and shooting it.
Awesome video, great job, thanks for sharing that,
Very cool video, and an interesting mirror system for the rifle!
Would the bullets not be arriving at the target nose up? Given the angle at which they started their flight, I would expect them to arrive in a nose up orientation.
If ye had given me a call I would have carried some of that gear out there for ya. Fab video. And congrats on the hits.
Awesome video guys, kick A$$!!!!!!
Awsome Video!
Do you realise what you have just started. Instead of fishermen we will have bullet men telling tall tales of derring do lol. Brilliant well done. I'm just getting into .22 and I thought a 12oz coke can at 500 yards was cool. Well done again gents .22 sales are going to go through the roof. Most important things you were safe and you had loads of fun. I will remember this for a very long time. All the best for Christmas and the New Year regards from Scotland
Haha! You had me laughing at "bullet men". Cheers
hi ,bro ，can you show us how to make the periscope for long range shooting ? it's amazing
That's impressive good work guys
Cool ,next time batch weigh the rounds to get more consistent groups, Must be hard to get a good group because your not home loading ,great vid guys🤘
The angle on the bullet head looks pretty consistent to the angle of the target plate plus the angle of the trajectory, no tumble, confirmed by no keyhole impacts.
Good job Guys!!!
Awesome guys. Now you started something. :)
That title belongs to Mark and Sam afterwork.......but these guys are cool too .
Awesome to watch, was at a range today and mentioned your channel to others.
Wondering where that location was (roughly)?
Great video! Well done! Where’s the lake though?
What cheek riser is that on the CZ??!
I still don't understand what the prism is supper to do. Is it because you can't get enough elevation adjustment the huge bullet drop of a .22 ?
Great effort boys.
Well done Boyz!! Yeahhhhhh Buddy!
Q: "So where, exactly, were you when you made these 7 miraculous shots at 1000+ yards with a .22 LR?"
A: "In the middle of Lake......"
And not a "closed" shooting range at all !!! SEE my Q./Comment above :))
great video you guys thanks a ton
Congrats folks! Good video too!
Cool video guys! I’ve got a CZ455 American with interchangeable barrels .22LR and .22Mag myself; CZ makes an awesome gun. ☝️ Your bonus video was a great addition too. I can deduce this was in Canada by your YT home location but it would be nice to know the rough location a little closer (Canada is a big place). We have a few 1K yard ranges here in Texas but it’s generally a question of fighting the heat, not the cold. 🤠
he lives out in southern Ontario if I remember right and it looks like he's in south Ontario for this video
great job gents!
I'd always heard that those little buggers would go a long way. Thanks for the confirmation.
Wow, well done!!!
The woodsource... Like in Manotick? I live like 15 minutes away lol. Cool video!
Is that the lake just outside Tucson?
You guys did great! I'm doing good to hit Rams at 200 meters with my CZ 455.
Nice job guys congratulations
Well Done !
Good fun,
How are you keeping your periscope lined up to top dead center?
I'm impressed and envious....I've gone to Browning BPR 1400 fps for my long range shots. Keep up the great " SELF CHALLENGES "....remember LOSERS always criticize and never " DO ! "...You two are winners ! Where did you find that " HUCKLEBERRY ?"
