[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1669578, member: 2736"] The best answer that I can give is = Taking a extremely long shot is different than being able to make an extremely long shot. Being able to make a long shot is very good at normal distances. And given the confidence that will help the shooter make the right choice to shoot or not to shoot. Just Because he can, doesn't mean he has to. Many on this site have rifles that will make long shots and the skill, but each person must decide "His" limits not the rifles limits with the conditions he has to work with. Understanding what effects the bullet and how much these effects have on the bullet is a major part, but the shooters ability to read these effects take practice and skill. Then and only then can a shooter make the decision to take the shot or pass and wait for a better chance. In truth, most people on this site has an ability greater than there desire to make a long shot that Is marginal at best. Like many I have passed on shots that were possible under perfect condition's but the odds were just not that much in my favor with all things to deal with. I have also passed on close shots that would have been considered a chip shot except for recovery chances. so everyone has to decide when to take the shot or pass no matter what the distance or the equipment used.
