[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1970976, member: 109994"] Yes I completely agree. It is EXTREMELY unlikely I'd even consider a shot longer than 200-300 given my current skill level. My hunt is Oct 3. So I figured I'd see how my field practice goes over the next month and find my max safe distance for perfect conditions as well as light wind. For example, if it goes well and I get my drops and drift figured out up to 400, and then I have an ideal opportunity for 400 (flat ground, maybe prone position, 5mph wind max) then maybe I would consider taking the shot IF I can't get closer. I don't really want to hunt long range. I consider 500 long range. I'm a bowhunter at heart, so I always want to get as close as possible! I just want to be able to shoot to 500, just as a tool to make sure I can fill my tag. But of course, that's along down the road somewhere after I get more experience. I've dialed back my shooting expectations from 700 last year when I first got my rifle to 200-300 now. I've learned a lot since then haha [/QUOTE]
