[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 892800, member: 10291"] I think that there are two components to becoming proficient at shooting game at long range(+500 yards), the first is the ability of all your gear being set up to hit a target in a given set of conditions, and basic shooting skills. It's a very important component and critical to proceeding onto the hunting part. It's the hunting part that moves the process from being a static situation to becoming substantially more dynamic with every shot at game offering a unique set if variables. Personally, the think the first part has been the tip of the iceberg. Placing a single killing shot into the vital area on an animal at long range can vary from being a chip shot to being virtually impossible depending on the conditions. The most challenging part of this sport for me is being able to distinguish between the two. IMO. [/QUOTE]
