[QUOTE="HawkeyeSATX, post: 1975617, member: 115445"] Many bullet manufacturers state that optimal bullet performance is at/above 1800 fps. Hornady is one of many that state this. Now, I believe it depends on the skill of the person shooting, along with if you've been hiking a considerable distance, and breathing control, and recognizing heart beat, etc... I think that for most average hunters the distance should be 300-350 yds. Even that is a long distance. Most game should be taken under 500 yds, I believe. We owe it to ourselves, and the animals we hunt to be as close as possible when we touch off our shots. [/QUOTE]
