[QUOTE="tysue, post: 375905, member: 6525"] I kinda doubt the average hunter (here anyway) leaves home with the ability to make shots over 100 yds. Indeed, I doubt 95% of "hunters" could hit anything three hundred yards away. Have had people come to our range who were "top shooters, man" and took a look at the bullseye at 200 yds, thought it was at least 1/2 a mile away, and left without shooting at all, as they suddenly remembered having something else to do. Will agree, there are folks out there who can and do shoot long range (the NRA btw, considers 600 yds to be medium range). But they are the exception. It would appear that those on this forum are some of them. Wish I knew how to post some pictures. Could show some targets shot at 1000 yds, no bipods, etc., this is from the prone, sling and your elbows. Most are with iron sights, as scopes not allowed, except in the Wimbledon. [/QUOTE]
