First shot wind call error and animal movement are the real limits on the distance at which an ethical shot can be taken (that is, a vitals hit 100% guaranteed). Far too few shooters take them into account.

I would say 80%+ of shots over 500y are unethical, and it approaches 100% at 600y barring dead calm air and a sleeping animal.
