1st guy with irons tied the 1st guy w a scope!
He needs some good ole boy help from the whoteewho, that should be easy shots with that expensive step up for the yuppie
First guy's bag rider looks like it's upside down.
That was kinda sad to watch wasn’t it😛 he stepped up tho anyway:)
It’s hard for me to watch these I’m screaming highhhhhh leftttttttt youreee rightttttt
@@kuratletrucking1677hahaha I’m doing the same thing mate cheers Yogi 🤙✌️
That last guy was dialed in!!! Shewee
You should get in on this!
Tack driver boss
wooohoooo bald guy in green shirt my dad🥳🥳
He did great! 💪
Yes sir he can shoot.
That man is a shooter ol eagle eye
Props to your dad.
Your dad is fantastic! 🎉 did a damn good job
HORNADAY! The way Erik reacted you'd thought he offered salsa made in " New York City"!😂
😂😂😂
*Hornady
😂
I think he had some thoughts going through his head on the guy that said Federal brass also but he kept it in!!!😂
😂😂
Yeeehaw! That peep sight .243 getting it done. I don't care who you are that was impressive shooting!
No disrespect meant but it would be interesting to see an equal shooter with excellent eye sight run that hardware on this course. I say this as an aging shooter experiencing aging tiring eye's first hand.
Oh snap. More iron sights
It gets better. Keep watching. 😊
Iron sight guy was incredible second time thru!
Those open sight shots were amazing. 🤯
Out of the all the videos I've watched, this one shows bullet trace better than any other video I can recall.
Absolutely! Specially on the 2” target. I should say targets, he broke one off 😂😂
The CMP AR guy has the right idea. Hold on the large visible target then adjust windage to hit the smaller plates. Can’t hit what you can’t see.
I noticed that, brilliant! Aim at something you can see.
Thats smart
First 2 hits! Wow
Great job on the blackjack Shawn 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Proud of you husband great shooting!!!
The mulligan really worked out for Shawn. Saw the wind die down and I was like "go go go! Get those rounds off!" Lol Great job to all the shooters...especially the irons guys. Really impressed with how well they did.
Yeah, Shawn killed it.
Cracking shot from the first guy with open sights .....I thought that first shot was the start of something very special but an amazing effort at that distance 👏👏👏
Props to all, but God bless. That first guy. 500 yards with peep sight irons? And he didn't seem to be missing by much, all things considered. Well done.
100% we need more ironsights, that was intense 😊
I think with the right wind conditions and the right sight setup, open sights is doable, but the skill and luck involved is crazy. One step below impossible indeed. Kudos to those guys for even trying, especially with a 223 AR with military sights.
i think vision is the limiting factor. it would take amazing, bordering on bionic, eyes to see all that.
@@McgSpook 100% agree. Beyond the eyesight, the sights themselves are one of the biggest limitations. Of course a spot on accurate rifle on a dead calm wind day doesnt hurt either!
It appears they were dialing left each target.. so they could aim at the large target but impact each consecutive target to the left. Interesting method.
Man, I immensely enjoy these challenge videos. Keep em coming Erik
Irons for life homie! People think it's obsolete, but it's a skill every marksman should understand and be proficient with.
Lmao there's a time and place for irons... A 22lr at 200 is worth having a scope.. a old war rifle like a mosin nagant or Mauser at 500 yes it's worth having a scope. a super modern Gucci laser beam in 6.5 or something fast it's not so much a need but it lets you adjust your impacts way easier
Although I love my mosin at 200 with irons it's not comparable to anything modern
This was awesome! Great job guys. I think this was my favorite yet. Glad to see open sights and guys donating to go again!
J Allen Chassis and a factory barrel...don't see that every day.
At last a .243 chester, putting on a show with open sights no less.....That roll of bills in Mr. Cortinas pocket was getting nervous;) Got to love the .243.
Ha ha! Not sure he was too nervous 😂
Gee, open sights and on a windy day, that was great. The last guy sure nailed it second go around.
Off the subject of the topic of this video a little but I had to say this here. I just got my EC Tuner Brake for my 300 PRC build and first impressions are great. Simple packaging with a little humor. NO excess. No instructions, if you are ordering one of these, you don't' need it. No extra allen wrench that you have a hundred of lying around that you can't find anyway because they come in every other package that you get.
I'm looking forward to competing in the Blackjack Challenge next year.
love this! don't ever stop.
I've been rooting for team iron sights from the beginning! Glad to see some capable of getting it done!
You and me both!
Fantastic. I see people setting up these target sets just to practice for your challenge .This is a great challenge for anyone aspiring to be better at shooting sports disciplines. Thank you for the fun.
I set up something similar at my house, I shoot with 22lr at 200 yards. Got the idea from these videos.
@@lanceledet883 my 25 yards ain't enough. Your lucky to have the yardage.
I think the first shooter on his mulligan proved that it can be done with out an optic but still going to need a lot of luck.
I honestly think someone with better eyes and a decent spotter
I doubt open sights is going to be able to do it with 2-inch targets at 500 yards. Bullets would have to be one hole at 500 yards to even think about it. There will always be enough wind drift even on a calm day to make it impossible on those 2-inch targets.
The limitation is seeing a two inch target at 500 yds, there are plenty of iron sighted guns with enough accuracy potential just need a more visible target.
I've never seen anyone shooting 2/5 MOA with irons at any distance. It's practically impossible to see. I bet it's like shooting at an empty space and you sort of imagine where your target is supposed to be.
@@bakters I don’t know what this means?
Glad that 2nd guy was able to mulligan and redeem himself. Great video as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yt needs more of this kind of content really enjoy it .
Impressive all way around. Good job fellas! That wind really upped the challenge. Thanks for sharing!
So awesome, best one yet to say the least, especially the open site guys !!!
Glad you liked it!
This show is terrific!
Hey Erik! Legitimately not trying to be rude, maybe consider doing a video on trigger control and follow through, I've seen multiple shooters on this challenge that could improve a lot in that area. Anyway, love seeing the irons come out, keep up the good work
Great episode here. Good job guys! Makes me want to dust off the ‘ole National match and give it a go.
Holy crap Tom, now that was impressive. Nice job. The second guy did good keeping his cool, nice job. Solid bunch of guys. 👍
Thank you! It was fun.
Glad you enjoyed it
Dad gum that bald feller was an ace ...love that everyone choose to mulligan ..
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the BlackJack Challenge. Tom Box, you are an incredible shooter. I get a smile on my face every time I watch you shoot. It took some guts to get on the firing line with no optics! Erik, my shooting partner and I have already made the plates so we can shoot our own BlackJack Challenge here in Louisiana. We should have our plates up by this weekend. This is fun stuff!
This is so great to watch!
Two impressive rounds here on this one.
Good job guys
All that money can't buy raw talent. Love it!
Really enjoy these. Keep it up sir.
Finally something neat to watch, a purpose built glass free rifle suited to this challenge. He did quite well grouping like he did!
great shooting! that first rig was seriously legit. It seems the eyes are stuck right around 1 MOA. I wonder where ive heard that before...
Great content Erik
Great try by all the men this the best part to see them try.
God bless y'all
Awesome episode Eric, nearly everyone was missing high but they got it sorted at the end, well sort of, congrats to all the competitors, good shooting in those conditions fellas, cheers Yogi 🤙✌️🇦🇺
I must say, I was shocked and had to laugh at the lollipop in my cortina precision order I received 😂. You guys are great
Love these challenge videos. One day I may sign up, I'm just a few hours drive away.
Incredible performance from everyone considering the conditions.
4 targets with irons 🎉 well done sir
Thank you 👍
Yes, pretty impressive.
I personally have not seen someone military/ civilian hit a target that small that far away with irons and I doubt I could hold a candle to such an impressive feat of marksmanship.
@@davithekid7236 you never know until you try 👍
That was so cool man! Congrats!
Man with open sight with Savage was a beast😎👌🏻
One of the more interesting shoots!!
Spotting camera looks awesome. Great job
Thanks!
Keep em coming !!!
The open sight stuff is awesome to watch
I do not understand the issue, open iron sights was standard for Marines at 500 yards when I was in-Guess everyone has forgot how to use them
Now that’s really cool I like that setup
Awesome episode!
Best episode yet keep em coming
Thank you.
This is one the most underrated YT Gun Channels here. Excellent Marksmanship folks !!!!
Thank you
Another Great Challenge 💯 Thank you Erik 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Another great episode, love the Mulligan idea.
Please give the open sight shooters their own episode.
That's some tough wind. Not only gusting, but variable as well.
Very difficult to know whats happening between shooter and target.
If you ever wast to do one in Wyoming our range starts at 50 yds tov680 yds, then 1 mile, and one at 3,300 yds. And we usually have substantial wind. Recommend 3o cal or larger so much fun zeroing in on them ppl dont realize the skill to even shoot 500 yds accurately live the episodes and seeing some of the different riffle builds and optics that open sightstuff is amazing i love ooen sight handguns off the bag at 500 yds usually can walk it into the gongs in 3 or for shotsvif the wind is cooperating i could watch this all day spend nany many hours at the range talking to many ppl wow h ave i heard some dandys so entertaining. Thanks for sharing
Great video man. Glad to see a 308 on here finally and congrats to the open site shooters
Appreciate it!
You guys with them peep sights have it going on!!!
Bout the only time you can say " Nice Shooting Tex " and it fits !!
That was some good shooting. Eric, your scope was set perfectly to watch the bullet trace.
Fred W.
Holy shit that last guy that went again fuckin killed it!!
Love this fair competition, I think they bond and have had a bear after that great show.
I'm confused. Are all of the targets at 500 yards? Why does the AR guys give it 7 clicks after a hit.?
The thing i am most surprised about this series is the amount of malfunctions with bolt actions.
Thatd be a super fun challenge to try.
uh-oh!!! Did you see the flinch and anticipation of recoil at 19:27? He pulls his head back on every shot. Take that dang scope off that rifle and get into it. He looked so uncomfortable behind that rifle with the scope pushing into his head like that. All in all, great shooting.
Saw the same, can't imagine why you'd leave that scope in the way when it's so easy to take off that handle mount one nut ( attaching the mount )😁
It was resting against his forehead… I’m confused too
@@sukt00 I think it was preventing him from getting as close to the rear sight as you need to be.
It's his competition service rifle " He pbly doesn't want to lose his zero or change his set up for his next competition ! He adapted and overcame!
@@Timberdam lol, no he didn't.
At least this time the iron sight shooters where shooting something that had a reasonable chance of doing well. Keep bringing us the good content. Absolutely love this series.
Maybe at the end of the year, bring back the top 5 shooters for a 1k yard blackjack challenge.
I agree. I'm glad some people with skills and equipment stepped up to the challenge.
I love this!!!!
Go MPA baby !!!!! Nice work
Sweet ass video!! I could see the vaper trail on the 3rd shooter!!! It was awesome I could see him miss the 4th target over the top my like 4 inches!!!! Awesome video!!!!
Great tries ! My personal best shot is an egg at 400m. Took me 3 shots. Not even trying to think I could do this.
Love this blackjack. Bright fluoro pink targets would have the highest contrast and visibility, on land or at sea.
The open sight guys do better when you introduce some calls which didn’t happen to the pioneers on previous attempts.
That vapor trail on the 243 was extremely flat. I was very surprised. What I tell you on another video? Someone with something like a Williams peep might have a slight chance lol.
I have not been posted in a while but this was great to watch.
Thank you.
I would like to see everyone of these challengers come back and try it under better conditions.
Hot damn!!! That was intense 😅
Dang, they shoot better at 500' than I do at 100'. :D Thanks for doing this!
Everyone going high probably because the almost dead on wind is acting like air over a planes wings from the berm behind the target. Adds a bit of a problem solve but also added a variable that no one expected to deal with.
Congrats to all though!
Open sights rifles are getting better 👍🏼
Man I would really love to come do this challenge. Just looks like a bunch of fun! I’d probably bring my 6.5 but it would be even more fun to try with my airgun.
Love to see some of your F-Class buddies come shoot your challenge Erik
I'm surprised more PRS pros havent done it. Their rifles are already set up more for this.
Their to 😱 😂😢😮😅😊
Not gonna happen especially if they use the competition rifle.
It would be to embarrassing if they use the competition gun and can't do it and have the highest scores.
Think about it 🤔.
It's definitely an advantage shooting this with iron sights when the light dims due to the cloud cover. The white gets hard to see when it's lit up. It's why most silhouette targets are black in the iron sight silhouette disciplines.
Awesome video! What camera are you using for the target/spotting camera?
Eric , now the yard so folks can see past the weeds😂 . Set up an elevated position so everyone can see clearly, and also help keep some of those high shots down a bit .
Son knows how to spot, dad needs to take spotting lessons from him
Someone out there can accomplish the opensite challenge. Just need a good day with no wind. And a great spotter. There has to be a team out there can pull it off. What these guys did today was incredible in that wind.
I was really hoping to see Erik try his hand at that 243 with irons. Id have paid the mulligan fee to see that!
Man size target at 500 in boot came but a 2in target iron sights is crazy
That 2nd guy needs ALOT of practice 😂
I think it was the pressure of the time and the cameras that got him:)
Twitchy headwinds are tight! 😎
Indeed.
Takes great vision but the open sights can drive tacks with the right person my uncle could shoot whitetail deer at three hundred yards running flat out seen him do it more than once with open sights he preferred them for fast moving game
Man one day I will like to this..will have to take vacation from work I guess!
