Have seen an increase in hopeful banging away here in Montana since long-range hunting became popular. That shouldn't be the way it goes, but there it is. Of course, saw a lot of the same thing years ago as well, but before laser range-finders and "turrets" the boys weren't as likely to hit anything.
This doesn't mean solid first-shot hits aren't possible at longer distances than they used to be, from people who actually shoot quite a bit at longer ranges. But from what I've seen the "take-a-chance" range has been extended considerably.
Agreed.
