[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1392380, member: 99718"] About everything I see said on here is true to the right people. Like I, and others have said, It all depends on what you would like to accomplish, to each his own. In the Sniper world many keep trying to get or hold the world record for the farthest enemy kill. And there is always going to be a long range hunter that wants to hold the record for the farthest animal killed; That includes each big game animal record, Bear, elk, antelope, sheep ECT. I know guys that won't shoot at a deer that is 200 yards away. And I think that is wonderful that a hunter knows his limitations. It don't make him less of a hunter or a SHOOTER!, hell he may be a better shot than most of us, but he knows his limitations with his equipment. As I said the farther out the bigger you have to go. Yes the wind & gravity plays with any projectile, but the lighter will be pushed by wind the most and the slower they go the more they will be played with by wind, gravity, and even the rotation of the earth. Not trying to be a know it all but this type of hunting or shooting was totally beyond belief when I was being told and shown many of these things. I will be the first to admit there is a lot more things that are involved that I'm not even aware of.
