Very useful thread. Every year I am part of an organised group of 50 or so hunters who hunt on a large, semi desert farm in North West Province of SA. Previously everyone was requested to check their zero on a 100 meter range. We now request them to hit an 8 inch gong at 200 metres. Big diference!
Is that working out well?
My son and I normally practice on 9" paper plates at 100, 200 and 300 yards, firing our 30-06 rifles from field positions. Often I'll put a steel gong at 300 yards for our practice as well.
Seems to work out well in Washington and Wyoming, I've not yet hunted Africa.
