[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1706448, member: 78056"] The longest shot I've ever taken on game was 750 yards... but it was on a previously wounded 'goat' that the other hunter was more than willing to forget about, some that absolutely disgusted me (he had blown the poor things lower jaw off!). That 150 gr. Partition out of my Win .270 worked perfectly. The longest shot I've ever taken on game that hadn't been wounded was 450 yards. I was laying down with a bipod and conditions were perfect. The muley was calm & feeding, there was no wind and i had a solid rest. I shot a button buck across a small canyon & dropped him DRT. Even so, I felt relieved after the shot. I was confident in my ability & and my equipment but it was the first time and I am all to aware of how things can go horribly wrong in an instant! Most of my hunting shots have been as close as I could get... as my Uncle Ivan told me, get into their bed with them! Closest about 30 yards, average around 75 - 100. Yet I still want the ability to take the longer shots because I know how quickly our plans can go wrong! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
