[QUOTE="KY_Windage, post: 1920617, member: 108082"] If you are going to blaze away at every one you see within 700 yards, you can go through a lot of ammo. It's easy to do that the first time you go, because you have never had shooting opportunities like that. You will get a LOT more hittable opportunities if you are suppressed, but you can damage both your suppressor and your barrel with too high a rate of fire. It is also disconcerting to return to a big town you shot a few months earlier and find only mounds, because you over-shot the town and the few you missed could not stand the suddenly concentrated predation by badgers, snakes and raptors. P-dog towns are the best "long-range precision shooting schools" you can go to, if you utilize them properly. If you do not have a very accurate setup, it will soon be apparent, especially if you shoot with someone who does. I can work at any distance I feel like, and I can see my impacts to help me figure out what I did wrong. I can go out on a windy day and pick whatever direction I want (head-wind, tail-wind, quartering, etc.) I want to work on. You can learn exactly what a 25-mph crosswind does to your bullet at 200, 300, 400 yards, etc. Spotting for your friend you can watch his bullets sail downrange, staying pretty straight until they start to slow down, then curve dramatically over into the target -- major fun. I now take 100 - 150 rounds per day, and I don't shoot many inside 200 yards. If I shoot an average of once every 2 minutes, that is 30/hour, or 150 over a 5-hour shoot. That is plenty, and leaves some for my next trip. Here is one of my rigs at work: [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/poQyGHoxj][IMG]https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/924/QyGHox.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
