[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1973168, member: 68875"] You might want to re-read Boomflop's post. No name calling, no veiled threats. While there are definitely threads that stir up controversy, this one will more than likely become another one. With 3 posts, you disparage the site, members, "ethics", and the reason this site is here, long range hunting. All while citing a narrow view of one example of two poorly equipped, experienced, and/or informed hunters, and their expensive gear. If you are looking to pick a verbal fight, be prepared, I am sure it is coming. I am one of those "high dollar rifle/scope" guys. My scoped rifles average around $8k +/-. I have all the gear to go with it too. High dollar optics, rangefinders, tripods, etc. I shoot between 4000-5000+ rounds a year, probably 40% are at ranges between 540 to 1300, and another 10% from 1300 to 1700+. While my personal hunting shots have been held to a maximum range of 662 on big game to date, members of my family and/or friends have made 1st round hits at 882 with my rifles. I have also made 1st round hits on everything from squirrels at 1201, to jackrabbits @ 1556, to coyotes out to 1365, two in a row as a matter of fact. I have also taken 80% of my personal game animals under 160 yards, and as close as 11 yards. I would not hesitate at taking game out to 1000+ in the right conditions. I know my, and my rifles, limitations. I have seen more misses under 200 than over 500 from "experienced" hunters. [/QUOTE]
