[QUOTE="BMcKell, post: 443229, member: 5091"] Shooting at 2000 yards is very challenging. That's why I like it. You have to look for winds at many distances and some of them will be subtle. You have to look pretty hard to see which way weeds are bending at that distance. You also have to look at the terrain for up and down drafts. One thing it does do is make a 1000 yards look like a chip shot. It's like baseball players putting weight on their bat to practice their swing. I'm not saying I shoot animals at 2000. I just like to shoot and pounding away at steel from 1000 yards gets boring. My longest kills are 900 yards on a spike elk and 1150 on a coyote. [/QUOTE]
