[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 922, member: 34"] Hello I have a little bit different perspective on the terminology of Longrange and extreme longrange shooting/hunting. Probably because of the amount of years doing it and the equipment accumulated dictates my personal range figures. I feel the term can be different as per the animal you are after. The smaller the target(woodchuck) the longrange term would be a tad shorter as per yardage. A deer or elk size animal, the term and yardage would be extended. For small varmints---500 to 1000 yards would be LR--- From 1000 yards to 1500 this extends to extreme longrange, after 1500, ultra extreme longrange would be the title. For deer or elk size animals-----750 to 1250yds would be longrange and from 1250 to 2000 yards , would be extreme longrange. After 2000 yards would be Ultra extreme longrange. This may not fall into everyones catagory but, it falls into my hunting friends and mine. An added note here--We don't shoot at ANY woodchucks unless they are 600 yards out at least. Anything less, with the equipment we have, is an automatic kill EVERY shot and I don't lie. If it were P Dogs that range would be 100 yards shorter to start with. Later Darryl Cassel PS--- You should always shoot to YOUR limitations pertaining to your own knowledge and equipment, regardless of the range.
