Any of you "experts" actually served as a range officer on"sight in day"? Had, you, you would observe that, as I said not 1 in 100 should be shooting at long range.
As for me, the only thing I ever shot beyond 400 yards were 100s of woodchucks back in my "ute".
Being able to make the shot off a bench or bipod at a paper target is FAR different than dealing with real world field conditions and animals who actually (gasp) might not stand still broadside for your ranging, knob twiddling and so on. Very few place (none) I have every hunted have wind flags every 50 yards either.
So you do whatever you want. You have to live with the lost animals, I don't. If you are a hunter, there is not a living deer, elk or antelope that cannot be approached within 400 yards.
If they could not, bowhunters would never kill anything. EOS
The "brat pack" calling me names, hurling childish insults and generally acting like "the last picked at dodgeball", don't change the facts. Sorry.
..................Ok guys!!!! Oldman1942 is now our official,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"HUNTING COP"...................
Hey clown!! Or should it be,,,MR POLICEMAN! The distances from which we shoot our game from, is to be left to "OUR" judgement and "NOT" to yours!!!! BTW! Regardless of my shooting distances, I have never lost an animal.
And as usual Oldman, you always veer off track!! Kill shot distances on game, have nothing to do with serving or not serving as a range officer. An absolutely wonderful,,,,"NOT",,,,comparison there!!!
And when it comes to you, I`ll be happy to be a member of the "brat pack!"
Take care,,,,,,,,,,,,Mr. Deputy Dog!!!!!!!!...............
