Prairie dog shooting is the sort of high-volume rifle practice that’s been popular among hunters for ages. Sizzling-hot bull barrels, dusty vistas, and sunburns are the name of the game. I don’t know that there’s ever been a prairie dog shoot without some element of friendly competition over bragging rights on the longest shot. Stretching the distance was one of the goals of a recent shoot I attended on the outskirts of Casper, Wyoming. The goal, in addition to getting reps in with Leupold’s new BX-6 rangefinding binoculars which use Hornady’s 4DOF ballistic solver, was to try and hit at least one prairie dog at 1,000 yards.
