[QUOTE="Wizard, post: 128618, member: 5208"] I believe that there needs to be a standard for long range competition shooting so everyone is on the same game card. Personal long ranges are a different color. I agree with Kirby that the conditions should be a large determiner of what the furthest shot that you should take to be humane. Now rocks, cans, paper, balloons are just plain practice and fun to push your limits. I have nothing but respect for those gents that shoot 1000 yards with iron sites at the buffalo targets with the 45-90s. If you take it seriously then you need to commit to equipment, reloading and shooting skills / practice. When you have to push your limits to consistently hit those targets, then you are shooting long range for you. Personally I am one of the ones that is starting to really hone my shooting and reloading skills, not to mention making my wallet a little lighter on equipment. I am just getting the confidence and equipment to extend my effective range on big game beyond 300 yards. I am grateful for those people that are more talented than I that will share their knowledge with others to improve the learning curve. I enjoy differences in opinions, based on their own experiences to give different slants on things. So keep talking about those 1000 yard shots at chucks and save me a place because I am gaining ground, with your help. The shooting world is getting smaller due to politics and city slickers so lets band together and improve our quality of shooting. Take a kid or neighbor shooting with you.
