Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Is a 300 yard self limit too limiting?

I don't think anyone else can really tell you how far you can shoot. Last fall at the range a fella was there shooting 3" groups at 100 yds and claimed his self imposed limit was 200 yds. That's a 6" pie plate at 200. A friend of mine was there shooting and hung his first target at 500 yds. The other fella who was there said he was wasting ammo as 500 was way to far. My friend then shot a 3ish" group at 500. In fact he does it all the time.

So the question is would you take a 6" 200 yd self imposed limit, or would you take a 3" 500 yd self imposed limit?

I think the answer is.....only you know how well you and your gun shoot, what bullet your useing, cartridge, etc.
