[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1669063, member: 54178"] Brad, Your experience with long range shooting under field conditions is what counts. I have no problem with someone sith your experience taking that long elk shot under favorable conditions with a cartridge and rifle that can do the job. What bothers me is that someone who has not shot much, if at all, beyond 200 yards will think that his or her Kestrel/Applied Ballistics weather station & calculator information and a good scope will be all they need to make an ethical long shot on big game. IT TAKES FIELD EXPERIENCE to make ethical long shots. That "field" can be PRS or other long range competition as well as varmint and big game hunting. But it all goes into getting to know your rifle and cartridge well under varying conditions. Eric B. Henderson, NV [/QUOTE]
