The last 10 years ,I have killed two elk on standing shots , one at a trotting bull in timber at 150, the other a sickly cow at 30 yds, other than that the deer and antelope I have shot have been from 425-700 yds. This area is devoid of trees and so the rest available are the ground and what ever you bring with you. All the longer shots have been off a 9-13" tilting bipod and using a lightweight rear bag. It may not be hunting to some but it keeps the freezer full.
