One man's cuppa tea may not mean a whole lot, all things considered. Only a suggestion, knowing it will not change the course of this epic thread, how about defining things a bit. Benched, in the field, offhand, over the shoulder with a mirror......it makes a difference. 50' ain't much of a stretch, but I gotta ask, do you think you could stand on your hind legs and do this well? The top is a sighter, the rest are 2 shots/target. Can ya stand on your hind legs and do this at 100 yards? With an elbow rest for 5 at 100? I really don't give a flip actually, but the question posed that started this is vague and whether intended or not doesn't lead anywhere. While I appreciate the skill set required to make first round hits at very long range in the field, presumably from a rest of some style, it's kinda of an apples/oranges thing if you get my drift. Benches make for some pretty groups from time to time but I don't carry a bench around for hunting. In the field things are a bit different. Long range for you may or may not be so for me, depending on circumstances, firearm, quarry etc. If you screw up is your "target" going to rip you a new anus? I am..........disturbed. Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass. -Twain

I've been on the road for 4 weeks straight, saw my wife for 15 minutes a couple weeks ago, when I was in Denver to change planes. Last two weeks in Mexico. Would rather be home and get some shooting in. Have another new grandkid coming in a few days and hope to be home for that. In the meantime I was hoping this would be a decent thread. Started out OK but quickly went sideways - as have so many others. I've had Stick on "Ignore" for years and only see what others quote. Threads would not go sideways nearly so fast if everyone would just quit responding to him. I know, pissing in the wind... Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE! No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's. A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Today I have sons that are shooting antelope and deer at 800 yards and 1100 yards. Tricked out rifles, range finders, improved/designed calibers for long distance, and fabulous scopes and ballistic programs coupled with chronographs for actual performance have changed the scenery big time. I have some of the above tools but not all and after practicing and practicing I'm thinking that I could be dangerous in the 700-800 yard range. Not lethal .....just dangerous.
