[QUOTE="wackinandstackin243, post: 1045739, member: 59412"] I must say "long range" is not a one size fits all measurement. I dare say most people here are better prepared than those who are not. I see people every year in the field that a 200 yard shot would be unethical. Seriously who wounds more game, the guy who chronographed, ran numbers, and verified at distance, or they guy who pulled is old 06 out of the closet that was dead on 10 years ago? Not to mention running shots. Who ever wrote that article is picking on all the wrong people. Public land big game hunting is cluttered with people who are completely unprepared for a shot of any kind. The problem people are 1. People who think a bore sighter will zero their rifle 2. Anyone who says "I can't hit targets, but I can sure hit game". 3. Kids barely old enough to hunt packing way too large of a caliber 4. The guy who sights in on a rock of unkown size and distance 5. The wives who can't shoot but bought a tag so her husband can kill a 2nd elk. [/QUOTE]
