[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 2342700, member: 87371"] For three years, 50 years ago, I lived and hunted in East Africa. Average distance there was 300+ yards, with a memorable successful ome-shot kill at 450+ yards with my 7 mm Rem Mag. Back in the USA, I shot a California coastal black tail at 450 yards, but most shots were around 150 yards. Then I lived in Ohio for a while, where deer hunters were limited to shotgun slugs. Ranges there were 3 yards to 40 yards. This year in Nevada I shot a pronghorn at 550 yards. Not a clean kill because I could not see where the bullets were hitting the goat. Turns out I was hitting him behind the diaphragm. Mortal wounds, but not a kill I'm proud of. [/QUOTE]
