[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 1339406, member: 34818"] There are tons of people right now that dont shoot long range and wound a lot of animals. It's not going to change much, I don't think. I saw a guy once sight in his 270 by throwing an empty tuna can as far as he could and then shoot at it a couple of times. He never hit it once but he came close and that was good enough for him! That tuna can couldn't have been more than 30 yards away haha! In actuality, the wounding process may go down a bit because they will most likely miss the animal altogether (hopefully). People don't realize how far a bullet will move with a little wind from 800 yards out. Now if they do buy a weather station and ballistic app, they would in my mind be more inclined to use them and practice with them because that is some cash invested. Those people that shoot two to three shots a year and try to go shoot something at 800 yards with no tools or ballistic software to aid them, I'm betting they are gonna miss more often than not. I limit my shots to 1000 yards and under. Heck, most of the animals that I can see will be that close or closer! But I practice out to 1500 yards to become proficient at 1000 and below. All my shots on animals so far have been under 800 yards. Just the way it seems to happen. [/QUOTE]
