I practice for long range and have some dedicated setups specifically for longer range shooting. However, even here in the wide open spaces of Montana the vast majority of the game I have killed or seen killed was well inside 300. I ran some numbers from the past few years and with a fair amount of game every year (I hunt with several buddies, have six hunters in my own house, lots of tags and a commercial meat grinder) including antelope, deer, elk and bears from what I can recall less then 15% was over 350 yards.
Lately I have been doing more practicing from various positions other than prone with a rest. Mostly standing off a tripod, sitting with no aids, sitting with crossed sticks, some offhand, kneeling, etc.
To be frank, it is humbling.
I can say without question that I am personally much more comfortable at 400-500 with a good rest and laying prone then I am at even 100 or 150 using any of the other methods aforementioned. To me it is all about conditions and personal limitations.
