[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 2342652, member: 74603"] Frick - lost a post. Growing up at 4,000 feet in Southern Oregon - I carried a lever action 32 Winchester Special - and in the heavy timber - rarely tried anything much beyond 100 yards. At 13 years - my first deer was a very tender little forked horn - at about 30 yards. Even Dad - who carried a sporterized 30.06 - w/ a Timney Trigger and Match barrel - would not go out much beyond 150 yards. And we were both good shoots - later I was on rifle team and qualified expert in the military. If they were further away - we just worked to get closer - and usually did. Plus - we also had the benefit much of the time hunting with a good friend - who was Indian/Native American - and he really new how to hunt in the woods. With today's glass - and better ammo - would love to work on reaching out much further. With today's glass - would double that easily - if not more. [/QUOTE]
