[QUOTE="Maico, post: 279125, member: 3700"] On the average most people or a big part of people don't try to place precision shots at "any" game animal in my experience. They find hair and pull the trigger so that could encompass the whole shooting realm. But yes 75-100yds is very close to the average distance that a 22lr is effective. But if you have a good shooting 22lr and know how to either hold over or dial in clicks then the range is far greater than 100yds. My buddy and myself shoot rocks in a plowed field at distances up to 400yds and "if" the wind is not a major factor then we can drop bullets in on rocks the size of a baseball consistently. I will say this...I've clean missed more shots than I've hit on groundhogs but we try for "head" shots only. Shooting a 22lr long range is not just go throwing lead. There's more to it than that. Good luck on your testing and keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
