Скачать или смотреть 800 yard shot - trophy elk hunt with vapor trail

This video is from our family elk hunt in which half the family did a high fence (mostly guaranteed) trophy hunt, and the other half did a true western elk hunt. This shot was taken at 795 yards by my brother Jake, shooting a fierce rifle chambered in 28 nosler, using 165 grain bullets.

The elevation on the shot was near perfect, but we were shooting across a valley into the high fence area, and missed the wind call by approximately 3MOA. The shot drifted left and basically killed the bull with a impact at the base of the skull.

We caught a lucky break here because the animal was down immediately, no meat damage, and the skull/mount was also undamaged by the shot. The wind call approximately 2MOA right, but we were shooting from a secluded position and were not seeing any movement through the scope to adjust further. The correct hold was probably closer to 5MOA right.
