I took my longest shot EVER with a muzzle loader dialed via Leupold VX6 4-24 at 310 yards a couple of week ago. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/r96sqNZ.jpg)

"typical" distance is under 200 yards. I have taken shots as far as 450 yards but rarely.

Usually less than 400yds. I practice consistently out to 600-650yds (limited by shooting range).

#1, by far. However I took my ram at @430 yds, uphill and shot a 6 point bull @540 yds across a large draw. He wouldn’t come any closer. Both with a 7mm Rem. Mag. I’ve take a few antelope @400 yds.

I don't even know what "long range" is. Most shots are under 50 yards. I've never shot anything over 100 yards.
I shot a doe a couple of weeks ago and she was inside 10 yards. She was probably like 20 feet from the base of my tree.

Laws aren't preventative measures. In other words, more laws won't prevent gun crime from happening.

#1 by far, but a small number of deer just over that….
I try hard to get as close as possible, but wind and terrain are not always in my favor.

Number 1 for me. I have never shot at an animal over 325. Have hunted Alaska, Canada and the West multiple times. Just never had a situation where I couldn't get within that distance.
