Glad I don't limit myself to 250 yards or there'd be one more big black bear still running around in S.E. Alaska instead of at my taxidermist's shop....and that would suck btw. I'm not capable of 500 yard shots with my current set up so I don't take them, but I do know what I can do, and don't hesitate when the opportunity presents it's self. I'm in the process of learning how to strech the mark out to 500 yards and beyond, but as to whether I'll do it while hunting depends on how proficient I become, and how much confindence I have at such ranges. Regardless of how far I become proficient at shooting, the learning process on the "range" will be most entertaining/fun and that's what it is all about for me.
