Is 541 yards long range?
P
On a live animal under field conditions?
Yes.
I agree with Bob. You almost have to have the ability to read the animal as well as the wind, along with setting up for the shot. My longest shot on a mulie buck was 700 yards. 1 bullet through the heart and the buck went down without a hitch. Rifle was an extremely accurate 7mm rem mag model 70 "hunting rifle" using "hunting" bullets. Rifle was set up with a "proven" scope that tracked excellent and practiced at that range and beyond. 1 shot/ 1 kill. 2 years earlier and I did the same thing with a 300 WSM at 600 yards... To answer the OP's question: Yes, I believe 541 yards is long range on a live game animal. No question about it..
