Texas Star From 500 Yards Away With Bolt Action - Possible?

I want to see if I can run the Texas Star moving target with my PRS bolt action rifle, but from 500 yards away!!
I got this idea a few weeks ago and it stuck with me through Thanksgiving. I went and got some dirt work done, built a new berm behind the area and moved the Texas Star from down in the trees to up in the field. I just have to test this idea now!

After trying this, I am going to have to do a little more dirt work, but I think it will be possible. I need to make the backstop a little wider so I can try to shoot at both sides as it moves, but the idea is totally valid!
I want to say this took a few more shots than I hoped, but I was very cold and this was the first run at it, lol. Not bad for zero practice I guess.
I need to get the timing down. Doing this is very different than running it with a pistol at 20 yards. With pistol, I can lead and catch up to the plates, and I can run it pretty fast in 5 shots usually. See some of my old videos for that. But with the extra distance and flight time of the bullet, I can see that timing it when the plates change direction is going to be the best way. Or learning to lead the plate by a lot. Shooting a moving plate, well, the plate is moved by the time the bullet arrives, lol.
So, I will tweak the process a bit and try it again.
Let me know what you think! I had fun doing this and will make it even better for the future!!
