[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 53790, member: 3"] I've been reading (and refraining from commenting) on a lot of threads on other boards about the problems of shooting 500 yards (and further). Well...tomorrow I'll take my latest hunting rifle and loads up to the mountain and fling some bullets helter-skelter and hope to make a few hits. I may try to film the affair and show just how EASY it is to hit a critter sized target at 500 yards...first round hit by the way. There's really no way to convince folks that it's not "short step yardages" or "luck" but perhaps a few folks can be enlightened...it only takes a few converts at a time to eventually win a bunch of folks over. It sure would be nice to get a few folks together that haven't "[B][I]been there and done that[/I][/B][I][/I]" and take them along as witnesses....or students. Anyone else considering something of this sort? Field trial...hunting setup (whatever that may be). Go out of the way to TRY to show that there's no trick photography or target swapping.... Sure seems a shame that folks won't believe what's right before their eyes.... and free to learn just by listening a bit. [/QUOTE]
