[QUOTE="trhall, post: 1546400, member: 26233"] Practice, practice, practice. I'll put my skills and equipment at 800 yards in the mountains up against 90% of the deer camp 100 yard pie plate shooters out there. I killed the bull in my avatar last season at 639 across a canyon with a 15 mph wind, a buck antelope at 647 with 5 mph wind, and a doe antelope at 724 all last season. All cold bore first shot hits in the crease behind the shoulder within 3 inches of point of aim. Each was from a different shooting position, sitting with sticks out front and pack for rear support on a steep side hill, kneeling with sticks and pack for rear support in tall sage brush, and prone off the bi-pod. 300 WM with 215 Bergers. I don't take a shot at an animal unless I'm 100% sure I can make it and have made it in practice. While I'm not a PRS competitive shooter I do practice alot but not at a range. I live in the mountains out west and spend alot of time hunting rocks in the mountains. Honing my skills at making sub moa hits out to 1,000 and beyond from real field shooting positions and environmental conditions. Spend the resources, time, $$$, effort to get the right tools and the skills and under good conditions an 800 yard shot for many on here is more of a sure thing than a 100 yards shot for 90% of the general population. Thus endeth my sermon. BTW, last time I checked this was a "Long Range Hunting" forum. [/QUOTE]
