[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 583297, member: 8"] I have thought about an ELR section for a long time and I come back to the same thought most of the time. The guys who just want to be one of the guys and talk about things they know little about but never kill anything or even go hunting but fancy themselves snipers defending freedom from the invading masses of deer will still come there and post about how they always use a 6X scope to kill elk at 1200 yards. So I suspect that I would still be irritated by the people who don't kill anything at ELR but want to talk as if they do. Anyway, there was a poll about four or five years ago where people selected a distance on the poll for their longest kill. IIRC only about 10% had ever killed a big game animal beyond 800 yards. In my experience that is about where people separate out from lack of practice and about 1200 yards is where equipment and techniques change dramatically. IIRC only about 2% had ever killed a big game animal past 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
