For my purposes hitting things is what it is all about. After zeroing and logging the drop w/ the rounds I want to carry I practice in the field. I am lucky enough to live where I can be in the hills in an hour. I like to take out a few 6"" steel gongs and place them out from 100-350 yds. I then practice ranging and shooting them from various positions to see what I can actually do in the field w/ whatever wind the day gives me. I believe I can responsibly hunt at the ranges I can consistently keep rounds in 6". I am not a great shot but I enjoy working at it. I feel really good when I can ring the gong 3 times in a row past 400 yards. I really enjoy being outside and shooting and try to do it weekly. It gives me a lot of confidence when hunting. Another great topic, this is a great site.

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.
