Another one of these guys.. "its only "true" hunting if you do it the way I do it"... smirk

Then comes into the LONG RANGE HUNTING FORUM to trash talk long range hunting...

Brilliant.

Here is a clue:

It does not matter if I use my .44 Mag at 100 yards on a bull elk.

Or sneak right up to rock throwing distance of a speed goat.

Or pop a fat cow elk 5 football fields away.

for a well practiced shooter, a high probability shot is just that, versus a low probability one. You might want to educate yourself before you continue to post in the long range forum.

From 1865 to 1965 100,000,000 military rifles were built that started at 200 yards and went out to past 1000 yards.

Then in 1965 someone figured out that at the squad to squad skirmish level, almost no shots were beyond 200 yards.

This is not as over the top as the average guy buying a $100k bass boat.

20 moa rails is just dealing with human nature..... this one will not take 100 years to straighten out.
