[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 668659, member: 34"] Broz Good to see you on here. ELR is a most interesting topic and I'm glad Len allowed it to happen. I tried six years ago to have it on this site but back then I guess the interest wasen't there as it is today. With all the new cartridges coming along plus the many different high BC bullest being made, the range will increase every year. I'm glad to see that because I always liked the extreme ranges when hunting. If conditions are right, the animal is cooperative, you have good spotters, you have a rifle that will send a high BC bullet with plenty of weight at a resonable high speed, your optics are top notch---the skys the limit. Of course trigger time is key also. Practice practice practice as we already know. Most/many ELR hunters have the desire to further the range just for self satisfaction. Once you make a kill at 1000 yards you want to go to 1250 then 1500 then 1750 then 2000 and then further as your rifle will permit. I always wanted to further my longest shot but, have not had the opportuntiy to do so "yet". I'm no dead yet so maybe there's time left? Like my wife----She killed a nice 10 Point in West Virginia and it's just **** hard to find one as big or bigger in these north central PA mountains. She don't even want it if it's a 6 point or average 8 point. i hope more shooters come on here that are doing the extreme range shooting as it certainly interests me alot as it does most of us. Augustus My wife and I was at the little big horn during the anniversary date 10 or 12 years ago. Many of the relatives of the chiefs that actually fought there was on hand for the celibration along with some of the relatives of the cavelry soldiers. I still can't believe Custer was ever an officer and after being at the battlefield know why he was at the bottom of his class at West Point. He and his men were trapped on top of a knoll with 2500 indians coming up from all sides. He ordered the men to shot their horses for somewhere to hide and try to shoot. Very interesting to see the site [/QUOTE]
