There's a reason they're usually considered a long range proposition.
For me, long range used to be 350>yds. Lately, and now living in that Special Regulations Area, 200ish and up is long range. The long range proposition is most desirable, but anyone who snipes at extended ranges knows all too well that solid rests and steady crosshairs are mandatory to hit tiny targets.
My old hunting partner and I used to have a saying: "Youthful enthusiasm is replaced by old age and treachery", which simply means at our age we've learned to do what's necesary to get the job done, and we learned to be patient enough to accomplish it. Long range shooting seems to fall within thoses lines.
