.22LR Rimfire ELR rifles

after watching it, my first thought was .... is the word 'hit' too complicated for yanks?

Settled on a new Anschutz 1761 in a MDT stock with a Zeiss LRF S3 on top, 1st time out on the range and great results, it loves the SK magazine rounds which are very well priced and sk long range, single hole at 50yds and all in the 25yrds target bull at 100, 5x 10 shot groups at 200yrds smallest group 61mm, widest 84mm so really happy with it. Like to think its the old hand behind the atock but definitely the rifle. Cheers guys for your suggestions and comments, got the target shooting bug again after almost 40 years.

CZ457 LRP, use mine at Zero One out to 320yards. SK Rifle Match works well so long as I read the wind, which invariably I don't!.

The reason "impact" is called out, versus "hit" is that electronic earpro can clip a word that short, and a shooter may not hear the call. "Impaaaact" is called out to ensure the shooter hears the call (especially with centerfire gun shots ringing out on a range).

But I guess that's a bit complicated for some to understand.

Is that also why you also shout “ dead bird” instead of “ fetch “ to your gundogs?

LOL! I have no idea, I don't shoot birds over dogs much. If I had to guess though, it's probably done for training purposes. "Fetch" tells a dog to go get it, but is more of a playful thing (like a ball or frisbee retrieve). "Dead bird" is a working command (it would seem) implying to retrieve it without the hope of eating it, or playing with it. Just a guess though, as my experience with working dogs were either military malinios or working companion dogs for severely disabled people. And in both of those cases, commands were always differentiated between play and work. In fact, once a working command was given the dog was expected to stay in that "working" mindset, until given the "release!" command (accompanied with the handler using the hand motion of two fists together, being pulled apart, across the front of your chest).

But I digress....

It amuses me.
Most of the time the hound is already 100 yards downrange and not listening.
I’m a bit fussy about it meself.

Another fan of the CZ457 LRP here....lovely bit of kit. Married it up with a Tract Toric UHD 4-25 x 50 MRAD ELR FFP 34mm tube (47mrad of adjustment!!) with a 20 moa rail........ shoot it out to 457m....500 yrds with SK Rifle Match or RWS Match . Great fun !
