Is 541 yards long range?
P
On a live animal under field conditions?
Yes.
Not all the time... but as Rick notes, its shot to shot and having the ability to know when or when not to is important.
I know that part....which is why I simply answered "yes".
We shouldn't have to explain that to anyone with any shooting experience.
I agree Bob. I passed on a shot the other day. Buck was at 500 yards, but it was a little windy in the Gorge and I wasn't set up right. I was also using a rifle and scope combo that was more set-up for dark timber hunting. I passed on the shot that day and shot that same buck 3 days later...
