Doc I din't have any particular number of rounds in mind and "several thousand " isn't set in concrete. Just my way of trying to quantify the experience factor side of things.
I hear ya. I didn't take your post as being set in concrete kind of deal. Get it? "Post"? "Set in concrete?" Hahaha! Ahem. Sorry.
My only real point is it takes a lot of concentrated practice in real world conditions to make first shot hits on BG animals at extended range, and many of us (me included) are not up to it. Maybe I am too conservative...
Lots of folks have no idea much better they are at distance than they think they are, cause they don't try. If you have access to a 300 or 400 yard range, you'll probably surprise yourself at how well you shoot. Do it over a half dozen sessions, and you'll amaze yourself.
