[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 813574, member: 13285"] Some wise words Byrnesy, In the old days and still today for some people. Hunters would guess the distance to an animal then hold over a guessed amount to take a long range shot. This method was rough as guts. Yet if it comes off the hunters normally would brag about the acheivement to their mates for week afterwards. If it didn't come off they kept quiet for fear of being bagged for taking a rash shot at a beloved game animal. Today the wise hunter facing the same shot would know that the shot is within his abilities. He would measure the distance with a rangefinder, dial up the required elevation and then take the shot knowing that the shot is not rash or fool hardy. This is the true benefit of todays knowledge and equipment for those that choose to make the most of it. It is a win for the hunter and a win for the game animal as it faces less chance of being wounded and lost. [/QUOTE]
