[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 3073296, member: 105102"] My OPINION is that this challenge is geared towards the thousands of people who have bought "long range" hunting rifles since the creedmoor was released and are now long range hunters......I know many of these people. I think long range hunting is one of those things that the more you shoot, the more you know, the closer your max range becomes. If these videos enlighten even a few people I see it as a good thing. I recently asked a guy who had shot a deer at 750 yards, how much wind he held for. He said "none". In his mind, he's dialed and deadly.......there's nothing you could tell him to change his mind. Another killed a deer at 700, but when a member of their party borrowed the rifle the next day because it was "dialed" he discovered the scope rings were loose. Rifle owner still thinks he's dialed. The people on this site are a tiny percentage of the people actually taking 500 yard plus shots on game, and a huge percentage of them are using CDS dials made off the velocities printed on the box of factory ammo.
