[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1669054, member: 8873"] Love this post!!! After going from sea level to 9,000 feet asl and over a week of hiking through some restrictive terrain and only seeing one elk, I want to be able to take that one animal at about any range I deem myself and equipment capable. It has been from under 100 to past 1,000 and I have passed on several that were in between but not a high successful shot (and ate $1,200 tag soup over it). Tell me I’m not hunting! Or better yet meet up and go with me, you would shut your mouth after one morning. I practice year round and fortunately have a job that pays me to shoot (and teach) long range. As for people saying animals move between shot and impact...if that’s such a huge problem, then you have a problem with bow hunting (at least the whitetail where I live). I’ve had several jump the string, even at less than 20 yards. I do notice that folks are real opinionated about things they are ignorant of... [/QUOTE]
