What are the acceptable excuse parameters there, if one attempts to scratch his arse and instead, winds up with his paw on his left ear? Most of the folks I know that get upset about someone shooting at game at 400+ yards, appear to have that problem. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
Probably ain't in the top 5000 when it comes to reliably hitting things at 400 yards, but have done it enough times to feel pretty good about it if the chance arises.
No shortage of folks I've met that have opinions on it though, many of whom could have that arse/ear problem, since they're convinced no one can hit anything more'n 200 yards out and consider it to be a troubling concept.
Wish I had a dollar for everytime someone has told me a hunter has no business shooting at anything that's "too far" away. Once made the mistake of taking my 25-06 HB to our range right before deer season one year, when the range was teeming with 50 and 100 yard paper-plate swatters. Got my arse reamed for even thinking of taking that thing out for deer..."looks like a varmint rifle of some sort, WTH you doing with that?" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
