toxic111, I have put my head on the chopping block before on this subject, so I will continue to support my belief. The long range "shooting" shows only show the correct hits,-- animal down. I maintain they don't show the shots that are less successful--legs broken-gut shot. I am in a state that aalways seems to have wind-not breezes. 20 mph is nothing. What is the wind holdover on a shot at 830 yards? Is the wind always the same at your shooting location as it is at the animal 700 yds away? There is considerable risk to a wounded animal. Is shooting an animal so damned important that you have to risk that wounding shot and not being able to recover the animal? A fellow I know was in BC and shot a goat at 660 yds. using a "good" rangefinder and-dial-in-the- distance scope. The guide was apparently amazed and another hunter took 10 shots without a hit. I wasn't impressed. Is it just shooting or is there some hunting involved?
