[QUOTE="justgoto, post: 1039597, member: 17125"] I don't hunt game animals at long range at all. Here in Ohio, just this year, we are allowed to use straight-walled cartridges in rifles to hunt deer. So for me it isn't practical. I do shoot at running deer as we hunt driven deer often. Here is my set-up for practicing on moving targets. [media=youtube]8JxlS9EMYVQ[/media] I've practiced at up to 75 yards. My 1 shot kill percentage would be in the 90 percentile, but for the whole group of short range hunters in my general vicinity, it would be 10% possibly; and even then, they don't just take one shot. So most of the hunters on this site are leaps and bounds more ethical than the average hunter in my area, that might be complaining about the evil long range hunters; especially since their training is "on the job." Having said that... I've seen a few videos on here with young hunters shooting long range and missing the deer totally on the first shot. The correction to the mistake was to simply try again until there was a hit. Those videos were met with praise. [B]I said nothing, since ethical issues are to be avoided here.[/B] But I think those types of videos fall into the same category as the long range moving target videos. Those children had as much business lobbing rounds at long range game animals, as do the ones not trained to shoot long range movers. Now that opened a can of worms, didn't it? [/QUOTE]
