[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 162197, member: 8733"] The issue with LRH is that only a small percentage of hunters are capable of it. The truth is that of all the hunters I know personally, maybe 1% have put in the time to actually be successful at it. The vast majority of hunters have NO business taking shots over 300 yards, much less more than 600! Go to any range. Most of the guys sight in at 100 yards, and call it good. I've watched dozens of guys in the last few weeks getting ready for hunting season, only 1 of them went to the 400 yard range and shot, and he was going to Africa!! Zumbo may be right about the vast majority of hunters, even if he isn't right about the guys here on this board. I'm not ready to shoot over 500 yards myself, I need lots more practice, to attend a long range training course, and to just flat get better. Zumbo may very well be in the same boat with LRH as he was with AR's, completely uneducated about the existence and possibilities of the weapons and systems. If I had heard about 1000+ yard shots on game a year ago I would have screamed about the ethics of such an endeavor, having haunted the board for a while, I find LRH guys to be among the most ethical of hunters. Zumbo may need the same education! Bill [/QUOTE]
