Is 541 yards long range?
P
Target shooters came up with these definitions a long time ago, so I use them.For non formal target shooters the lines are blurry.
Short range is zero to 300. Basically point blank.
Midrange is 300-600. You won't win any matches being sloppy but you can land some good hits without an advanced degree in wind reading. You can probably read the velocity out of the manual, or side of the box, scratch your nuts a couple of times and not embarrass yourself too badly. The running joke amoung those who shoot at my little private range is you can take just about anything worth shooting that is zeroed at 100 yards; dial 8 minutes of elevation, aim at the windy side of my 500 yard rectangular plate and hit it somewhere.Its faster than setting up the chronograph.
Long range is over 600. You better start doing a lot of things right starting with believing those 500 yard results.
Some toss in an ELR at over 1000.
