Although my state does not offer any LRH, my practive facilities of 600 yards and the information I hope to obtain here will give me the confidence in making those long shot when the opportunity presents itself.
Even though you may not have that much opportunity to make long range hunting shots long range practice can improve you short to medium range hunting. At the long ranges you have to do everything right of the outcome will not be good so the longer the range the more benefit to ones shooting. When I practice archery I always shoot the longest distance to to show any equiptment problems or shooter error. J E CUSTOM
