Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting What is your definition of 'long range'?

When it comes to game shots, long range is the distance I can hold steady enough with my crosshairs to feel I can make a good, clean shot. Some days that is 700 yards if I have a good enough rest, time, and conditions are right. Other days that may be 300 yards if I can't find a good enough rest, or the wind is howling, or conditions just aren't right.

I should go roll some tape and comment upon MPAJ Hasty Rucktitude,at distances beyond a given platform's zero.

MOST folks don't have the glass,that'll allow dot connection and they are quick to overlook that constant. that ain't a function of magnification,nor optical splendor...but SOLELY of mechanics.

Hint.................

Beyond 400yds is a good metric in the hunting world.

Right about there is where, even a lot of the flat shooting rifles, have dropped or are dropping below MPBR.

Yep

Sweetie,

Trajectory is Physics,wind is Voodoo and the ONLY thing you "shoot" is your mouth and Imagination. Congratulations?!?

Bless your heart for sucking ass though.

Hint.

Laughing!.............

Stick, I know you don't have time to shoot all those rifles so if you want to thin the herd of one of those useless Anschutz rifles one of these days you let me know. You know how much I like blued steel and wood....

Come visit and leave with a FULL appreciation of what can be done in a day.(grin)

Everyone leaves shaking heads......................

I took a bit of physics, way back when. I was dimly aware that it may have somewhat of an effect on trajectory. But thanks for gettin' my back on that. You're a peach.

Problem is...…………..the hot wind that blows outta the arsehole of Paradise, Alaska is Voodoo on the trajectory of any discussion it encounters. Darned shame...……….

TROUBLE is...you are devoid the means,to accrue the wares,in order to amass the talent to savvy. Hint. Congratulations?!?

But "luckily" for you,Imagination and Pretend are free,so you can "afford" to "contribute" in the first hand...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint.

Bless your heart.

Laughing!..............

Then hit an egg at 300 yards with one of your .22lr and post the video on this thread.

Well I have always been a deep woods hunter, 50 yards is a long shot. However you would have about three seconds to take the shot. Recently hunted with the SIL on a gas line clear cut. 300yards shoots presented themselves. Will have to learn a whole new game.

elkchunt,

Ain't it a hoot,that despite ALL of your Subsidies...you still cain't "afford" a good 22LR. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Bless your heart for trying though!

Hint.

Laughing!................

That has nothing to do with making a fool of yourself trying to hit an egg at 300 yards and on video. You're the one who's bragging about how great you are and blah blah blah.

Like I said in another thread,you know just enough about firearms to get yourself into trouble. And right here you proved it.

Haha !!! Pigz Dik Post Variation #3...…………………...the "you can't afford it" post ..................again...………………. Been 2 whole hours since you used THAT gem.


Maybe someday when I recover from my current bout with food stamp poisoning and can collect enough roadside beer cans, I'll have bank enough to roll with YOU, bro !!!!

Yoder409,if you and I pool our money together we might be able to afford the stuff bs has.

Think about it.

300 yds I way more comfortable at 200. Just me!

Of my...Twin Kchunts,with nary a sound Rimfire betwixt their "means" or "abilities". What were the "odds"?!? Hint. Congratulations?!?

Bless your hearts for trying.

Hint.

Laughing!.............

Hit an egg at 300 yards with one of your .22lr and video it,then post on here.

I'm way more comfortable at 200 yards or less.

22LR at distance with a wind that is variable... How many boxes of ammo. I shot competitively with a 22LR, and anyone says they can hit successfully ever time is talking BS. Does not matter the rifle or ammo.
