[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2926542, member: 126670"] Exactly! Why would my goal be to just hit anywhere on a huge sheet of paper at 300 yards? If that was as good as i cared to get I would sell my guns, why bother. Its like a gold miner saying yup yup yup my goal this year is to get 100 ounces...when they know that is easy to do, and last year they got 300 ounces. Why not say to themselves, my goal this year is 500 ounces, and then work hard for it...maybe they only get 450, but hey that is 50% more than the year before, because they were reaching for that 500 goal. Maybe I will try for for the next 5 years and never hit 20 cans in 20 rounds at 800 yards. But that is my next goal i set for myself. Yes it requires the right day to, with no wind. By why would I say to myself yup I'm going to haul a sheet of plywood 800 yards down on my quad, lean it against the dirt bank, and if I can hit it 3 times in a row, then I have achieved my goal. I don't want to set a goal for myself that low. If that is the goal for someone else, then hey that's okay I guess for them, not for me. My goal after I bought myself a dirt bike last summer was to be able to do a 100' wheelie, and feel good jumping it with 5' of air under the tires. I practiced until that was no longer hard to do, then set myself new goals. It is my first motorbike, love my YZ 85. [/QUOTE]
