[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 352501, member: 2736"] +1 I have competed at 1000 yards+ and there is a huge difference in hunting and target shooting. On this site we are all trying to build rifles capable of 1500 yard shots and that is good because it will help the shooter make better hits at long ranges. I will not get in a debate about some of the shots because I was not there and it does not matter how far they shot or said they shot, because a long shot is a personal thing. There is always someone who can out shoot you on any given day so what difference does it make if one thinks that a shot is impossible. I was impressed by some of the shots and believe that they were actual because of who they are. My best shots are no where near as long as some of the guys but I was impressed and that's whats important to me. Deer @ 518 yrds with a custom XP pistol. Hog @ 841 yrds with Custom 7mm STW. Mule deer @73 yards with a compound bow. These are my personal best with each type of weapon. I have tried to extend those distances with the rifle but so far have not been able to even get a shot 900+ yards where I live and hunt. If I lived in some of the north western states my chances would be better but I'm not sure my abilities would. No doubt the equiptment is capabable. I also feel that a well though out and executed shot @ 300+ yards is a good shot, So what is long is a personal Best not what some say is a long shot. Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
