[QUOTE="longrangehunter, post: 856, member: 386"] I noticed somebody made a nice shot on an Elk at 2890 yards. I was wondering what level of accuracy is possible at this range? Specifically group size and first round hit percentage in the vitals (first shot after the spotter shots). Also, a lot of the 1000 yard targets I see posted on the net show the group a considerable distance from the bullseye. Since they're shooting for groups only hitting the bullseye isn't important of course, but some of these groups are several feet away from the bull. I'm assuming that they were shooting the first round at or near the bullseye and for whatever reason the group ended up way off the bull. That's somewhat discouraging for a hunter considering that these targets are from competition shooters. [/QUOTE]
