This is what happens when the casual range work morf's into real life situations and the conditions are never the same. I'm sure the guy could do what he said.....at the range and under ideal conditions.
Those "short range" 500 yard situations are suddenly not so "short". The technology lies to you,the wind throws you off in calculations,shooting conditions not ideal. Doesn't take much to throw you off at that distance when a bullet is plummeting 25-35 inches and the wind is blowing.
Why I don't listen when I hear that 500 yards is "short range"..I've BTDT several times on elk and I promise there was not much about it that I found easy. I even walked away from some shots.
If the guide had asked me I'd have responded..."Let's get as close as we can and I'll let you know then..."
