[QUOTE="nsb, post: 128643, member: 6654"] I stated my definition in the other thread, which was that anytime you have to take measures beyond "point and shoot", you're shooting long range. I realize it's subjective, and just like Nascar drivers might not consider 130mph to be fast doesn't mean it isn't. If you were going to corner me on a number, I would say that LRH begins around 400 yards with the proper equipment, because with most cartridges, that's where you've got to make SIGNIFICANT adjustments, and it's flat out out of reach of many. What's a 165gr 30-06 Springfield doing beyond 300 yards? So I say 400 yards is getting into long range. 200-400 is medium range. Beyond that is long and longer. Just like fast and faster. To say that long range doesn't even begin until 600 yards doesn't make sense to me, because closer than 600 yards, you're making the same adjustments you are beyond 600 yards, just different amounts. At short range you don't have to make those adjustments, and at medium range they start coming into play, and at long range they are crucial. Just because the space shuttle goes 16,000 mph doesn't mean that a 1400 mph fighter jet is slow. [/QUOTE]
