[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 22438, member: 25"] Rather than shooting at paper targets ("F" class or whatever) we are getting a lot of practice shooting from 700 to 1000 yards on steel plates and trying to learn as much as possible about doping wind, etc. One objective is to get cold bore shot hits within the vital area of a deer out at where ever we have the steel - and to shoot five shot groups within that same 12-15 inch vital zone. This is pretty easy out to six hundred, that is why we mostly shoot 700 and longer. We have big plates to catch "groups" and small standing ones that we knock over. Small plates range from 12x12 to 18x18, all 1/2" thick. Jerry has an excellent point, we should be trying to beat the vital aiming zone area by a margin. Having said the above, I doubt that we would shoot at 700 yards on an animal with our gear unless there was absolutely no wind and a backup shooter was on also. [/QUOTE]
