[QUOTE="Vamike9, post: 1916043, member: 91740"] ELR means different things to different folks, however, most agree with standard calibers it would be beyond 1000yds. However, the fundamentals are extremely important, if you can't shoot well at 50yds & 100yds then go back and practice until you are consistently shooting under 1inch at 100 yards. There are so many aids these days, high bc bullets/ammo, ballistic apps, rangefinders, Kestrels, and so on... Really what's needed at the core is a knowledge of your skill and your rifle setup. Much is preference in what gear you use but you have to know that gear. Make the rifle fit you, not the other way around. I know men who know old rifles and can outshoot guys with 1/4-1/2 MOA rifles at distance... Why? Because a 1/4 MOA rifle with someone who lacks wind reading skills can easily become a 5 MOA at distance. Learn to read the wind as best you can. Be confident but not overconfident, the wrong attitude will end your day of shooting really quick. And have fun, it's not worth it if it's a chore. Lastly, it is highly preferred that you find a good spotter because we will all miss. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.riflesonly.com/rifles-only-precision-rifle-volume-1-fundamentals[/URL] [/QUOTE]
