[QUOTE="TRG65, post: 1706439, member: 103919"] I wish more people would shoot PRS/NRL or other local matches. It gives a very good feel for what the shooter is capable of when stressed, or even just when they miss the mirage changing directions. I think more folks would be wary of taking long shots on game for the risk of wounding. Personally, I can hit targets at 1100,1200,1300 yards, but it might not be the first shot and it might not be every time. In fact I usually hit about 60-65% of the shots at local PRS matches, which are usually about 2MOA targets (on average), this hit % still usually puts me in the top 1/3d to 1/4 for the match standings. My match rifle can usually average about .4" for 3 shot groups when testing, some smaller and some larger, but hitting one MOA targets under match conditions are my absolute nemesis. The longest shot I've taken on game was a hog at 420. I missed because I didn't do the right prep, ranging and checking data, etc. The longest shot on game I've made was 350 on an antelope. I personally don't think I'd attempt over 600yds on game and even then only when I was pretty sure of the conditions and had someone I trusted on a spotting scope. [/QUOTE]
