[QUOTE="Glock119, post: 56864, member: 3218"] I fully agree. As an Instructor we teach all our students to stay well within their abilities and that of their equipment. We always love to get those in class with the 3" mag slug guns, high end scopes stating how they can shoot 150-200 yds with it. then when we get to the range and you have them take 3 shots at their longest distance they feel they can hit and three shots at 20-30yds which is more realistic of what is going to happen in the field the targets speak volumes to the class and to the individual. Its at that point the "lights" come on and you know you just got through to them. For me LR shooting means learning the skills, techniques and equipment needed to make such shots. My drive and motivation is to learn and have the ability someday to make such shots. I could care less if I were to never shoot at game at that range, but rather to know I possess the ability would be as rewarding. I think just being able to ding a piece of steel at that distance would be just as rewarding. (and one heck of a hoot) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Its got to give you folks a sense of accomplishment to know that you posses a skill many want and few can accomplish.
