I get it. We don't need to take anything into consideration on 500 yard shots at unwounded BG animals.They are as mundane and routine as 200 yard shots I suppose
I never said that either. Not sure why that is the impression you got. Anyway, If I was practiced and familiar with my rifle and at target shooting
at 541 yds. then I would thake the shot. Like I said earlier, I was well practiced at 600 and killed one at 626.
To me, yeah, I would have to call that a long shot. Being as it is about as far as I would ever care to shoot at a game animal.
It is my opinion, and my opinion only, but after 500-600 yds, things start to get a whole lot "sportier" in terms of wind and such. Plus, I have more fun trying to get close, and will not take a questionable shot at an animal. But there are others who will shoot much further than that. Like John Burns and his game wounding buddies......
