[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 52864, member: 3"] Dachs Thanks (I think [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] )! He's a pretty big cat! (But everyone can tell he's much smaller than a deer.) These example longer range shots were on a less than optimal day but I had driven about 150 miles to shoot so the shoot went on. The 650 yard shots would not have been taken for hunting as the wind was not too good. I believe many of the folks here will tell you that after a few years practice and considerable familiarity with a rifle and load a 500 yard shot on a Whitetail deer is just about a "chip shot". It's like everything else we humans learn...at first it's "[I]I'll never be able to do that![/I]" and after a while that same person is far beyond anything they previously expected. Try using a bipod or shoot over your day-pack if you're not using a support for long(er) range. [/QUOTE]
