I respect LR hunters and target shooter who can do the real long range stuff, read the wind, etc.
That's not me, never has been and probably never will be. It's like we're talking about two different worlds.
In my world, making a 500 yd. shot at a hog, 'yote, etc. across a bean field or down a power line is a LR shot. I generally don't shoot at deer that far, because I can't read a rack at those distances.
If I see a whopper of a rack and know it's a real shooter, I want to be able to crank in the yardage and take the shot. Hogs and other vermin are targets of opportunity. I don't really care if they're gut shot, etc., just shot...
I'm a lot more careful with deer.
