I have no problem with a 1K shot as that is the range that I fire over 2K rounds a year at. That is counting the competitions as well but that being said people who do not practice at that range and don�t know how to judge the wind need to either practice and become proficient or reign in their shot. Reading the drop chart off of your ballistics program ain�t gonna cut it.

The shorter the shot better helps to ensure that all of the variables in the field have less time to impact your bullet as it flies through the air----including for example a less than perfect rest, breathing etc.
