[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 874393, member: 10306"] Using a sporter weight rifle and sling you can become VERY proficient to 600 yards from field positions (excluding prone). Using the hasty sling method with ALOT of tension (as much as possible without fatigue, fatigue is bad:D). for me this means that the sling is tighter than I would like for carry, but is worth it for shooting. I practiced quick shouldering from slung position as I live in grizz country too. My farthest shot (on game) freehand was 280 yards. sitting was a touch over 400 yards. prone with bi-pod 600+, but that's just because I haven't found a longer opportunity. I feel that 95% of shooters can attain these numbers as I am no super shooter. This all comes with practice. [/QUOTE]
