Rost495, The main reason on the 200 yard for larger game, because were I hunted you could not see farther than 200 yards. One of the other reasons is that all the guided hunts I went on. The guide would put a limit to shooting distance of under 200. Especially in Alaska were I was stationed for a few years. You couldn�t see 2 yards in front of you in some of the stuff. I love to shot long range. It is the complete test of an individuals shooting ability to see what his limit is. I just really get upset with the ones that haven�t put the time in to master this art. Like said earlier, �The Wal Mart Rambo� can really cause true hunters to suffer.
