[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 587680, member: 33200"] While mine isn't some remarkable long distance it is still impressive to me. I have only been hunting for 2 seasons now. This is my first season using a rifle. I chose a nice Savag lefthanded bolt action 30-06 with the Burris Eliminator scope in the hopes that one day soon I would get to hunt WY antelope but still hunt dense wood deer in the meantime. My furthest shot ever was 60yds with a shotgun slug on a deer and I had sighted the rifle in at 100/200 and about 3 shots at 300yds. I ended up on a trip with Respect Outdoors TV show for my daughter in South Carolina (hopefully airing sometime soon!). On the last day with light fading we had 4 bucks head out at 275yds which was too far for my daughter. I decided to give it a try and lined up on the largest deer. I missed low. I then re-ranged and lined up again making sure I was holding the gun properly and dropped the largest buck of the 4 and my largest one ever. A nice 12pt with a 3inch drop tine that was on the back of the browtine. What I had not realized on the first shot at the time was that when I ranged the animal it was 275 but it was walking diagonally away from me so it was closer to 307yds. My first shot was a miss due to a combination of rushing for excitement and improper hold-over. Was a great time and I'm glad my daughter was right next to me to see it all. [/QUOTE]
