[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2736189, member: 12443"] You will find if you talk to enough experienced people, that by and large those making the longer shots, are not your typical walking around type hunters looking for a long shot opportunity. Now im not implying that it dosent happen, but the odds of a guy making a long kill with a light barreled comfortable to carry gun, arent all that good. First off there is apt to be multible shots fired, regardless as to what you may have been led to believe. So that means that the accuracy will start to diminish with light guns, not even taking into account the excitement factor escalating the longer it goes on. Its one thing for all of us to sit and offer keyboard opinions, but yet another to actually make it happen out in the real world. Those who are the most successful with the longer shots, will be those who have the type of equipment required for that situation. And that will mean heavier barreled guns, tripod mounted optics, a good shooting platform, and an experienced spotter buddy sitting behind the good optics informing the shooter as to what is actually taking place. If that type of hunting is a turn off for you, then i suggest just sticking with the type of gun and the distances you are now comfortable with. There is certainly nothing wrong with either method, it is simply a question of how they appeal to different individuals. [/QUOTE]
