[QUOTE="littlebighorn, post: 2451041, member: 112108"] I'm with Tadd. Very few hunters have regular access to extended ranges to become ethically proficient. My main range is limited to 600 yds and I shoot lots at that distance but I don't feel comfortable beyond because I can't practice enough. Once or twice a year I get out to 1000 yds for fun and I can regularly smack the 800 yd gong. But that's for fun and not for hunting. Anyone who has shot much at distance knows wind is a killer. I once missed the antelope buck of my lifetime because of a stiff Wyoming wind. He was only 400 yds away, which is normally a chip shot, but in the moment I didn't account enough for the wind and I missed. It was a bitter pill to swallow. On that day I should have shown more restraint and waited for a better opportunity. In my book your max hunting range is all about conditions and your ethical proficiency. [/QUOTE]
