[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1609198, member: 75451"] Any difficult shot made, is a shot to be proud of. The shot difficulty determines whether it’s long range! A 50 yard shot when picking a tiny opening, is often much more difficult than a long shot under ideal conditions. I’ve seen or had to help pack out several head of big game shot be my wife at around 400 yards. But, the two she’s most proud of were a bit closer. #1 favorite - a cow elk @about 160 ish, on a bench below, in rather thick timber. The group of elk only resembled partial shadows moving around down below. She went to prone ( no bipod) on the edge of the bench she was on, picked a very small gap (about 4 to 6 inches wide) between trees, waited for an elk to put a shoulder in that gap. #2 favorite - antelope @ only 200 yards, she quickly got out of the truck, and made a “snap” offhand shot as the buck was about to go behind the finger of a ridge between them. That quick shot put her second antelope buck on the wall pushing 17”. memtb [/QUOTE]
