[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 1158018, member: 21869"] Long post. Ill try to adress as you listed. What is considered long,been asked here 1000 times,varies for everyones ability.Guys on here that shoot 12'' group at 1 mile.Many on here taken game at 1000. I have close friend that has WR in 1000 bench,they dont even shot a antelope unless it is 1000. Trying to get closer for shot? Done that my hole life,but when you are busting targets at range? My son took a antelope at 850 with my rifle at 15,he has shot alot of game at 500 plus because I am set up for it,my father never was. He took a large once in lifetime muley at 500 this year,in three steps the buck would disappear. Asked my hunting bud if he wanted to set up on these two bulls in ID,few years back at 500 yrds,he said no,was not comfortable with that,then.He is a multi time state champ with recurve and qualified for worlds many times in 3D. Ive seen him shoot 6 '' groups at 100 with compound,I can hardley do that with my pistol and I shot on a state champ team.I got him into long range he has taken several animals now at 500 plus. He now shoots a Sako Finlight with Swaro 300 wm.Very capable with set up,one of the best hunters I know.I have a buddy that is very close to the super slam with his bow right now. [/QUOTE]
