[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 12202, member: 8947"] ShawnC, your mileage may vary but when I list the ranges, I am shooting from a portable bench with front and rear support. All bets are off when shooting off a bipod or pack, or some makeshift field position. Maximum distances will shrink dramatically unless the hunter is very experienced and a good shooter. A competitive prone NRA shooter would have no issue plinking out to 600yds. Most guys couldn't hit a milk jug at 300yds using field rests. I hope that during your classes the students will understand and respects their limits. With practise and skill, they will certainly be able to do more. When I help others, it is not to limit them to where they are now but show them the steps to improve to reach where they want to go...responsibly. The gear that your students are going to show up with will be more then capable of very long distance shooting. The key is whether they possess the skills to do it and to what extent. At the very least, show them the effects of wind and ambient conditions. Jerry [/QUOTE]
