I have never taken a far shot just to take a far shot, some do and if they can, good for them. I have taken far shots and cleanly killed because that was the shot I had and I used my equipment to it's potential. furthest shot on a game animal with a rifle is 730 yards, furthest with a bow was 47 yards. In both cases I hit exactly where I was aiming and cleanly killed the animal. After all, that's why I was hunting in the first place, to put meat in the freezer. you may think differently but that's ok. I won't be the one to say "you don't take long shots because you're a poor shot and have to get closer" you take shots for your own reasons, who am I to tell you any different?
I know people who can't hit the broadside of a barn at 200 yards, I hope they hold themselves a different set of self imposed limits than I do for myself.
