[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 62085, member: 3"] I only have a little time right now but I'll address how I view these "challenges" as they are a fairly routine issue. First things first: Premise 1 of long range hunting, the hunter decides when and if the shot should be taken. 2) the hunter very often sets up in a favorable position, wind, light, etc. 3) The "kill zone" on an animal varies in size according to several issues...for long range hunting and the disposition of the animals the "kill zone" is often larger than folks think. These challenges are often designed for failure... a small/smallish kill zone, a longish distance, shots at fixed intervals and not shots when the hunter agrees conditions are correct, shots across changing/unrealistic shooting condition winds.... it goes on and on... "Like the old auto commercial where a fella is cutting a diamond in the rear of a luxury car....smooth ride huh!! The system was designed to succeed... The challenge would then be issued "Can't be done and I'll prove it to you... I'll let him try 5 diamonds in the back of my low-rider...I pick the road, time of day, speed and diamonds..." The "challenge" would need to be engineered to meet the conditions of the hunter, not the challenger. [/QUOTE]
