[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2089773"] Now, when I was in the army, we would shoot Prarie dogs a few times a month, on post, on a range, with ammo paid for by the taxpayers. We would launch those 168gr match .308 bullets from an elevated platform and sometimes we would shoot all day long, and be paid for it. I only mention this to say that the part about their lack of reaction at that range sounds like what I experienced. We would miss a whole lot, since we were in Colorado and had crazy switching winds all the time, and I've seen a pd get splashed with dirt multiple times and watch 3 of his buddies turned inside out within a few feet of him.and there he would stand, spattered in his buddy's blood wiping dirt from his eyes, standing straight up trying to figure out what was happening as bullets splashed around him. We would get into it sometimes and wouldn't even bother reading those fickle winds, just launch one out there and adjust. I'm not saying that this man is being honest, but the part I'm referring to is in line with what I've seen. We had a 1,000y range over a prairie dog town, and at that say....... 500y and beyond, they didn't really have much reaction to a missed shot.. [/QUOTE]
