[QUOTE="Chadp82, post: 2083173, member: 114151"] I totally understand what you are saying. I have friends that claim to shoot 1000 yards, all that stuff, but only put 3-4 down the range each year to check their scopes zero before hunting. I don’t even bother challenging them. I also won’t hunt with some of my friends. Great friends, but don’t think they would be good hunting partners. I will be the one that says I limit myself to 400 yards in the field (or shorter based on conditions). I am honest with my own ability. I have missed off hand shots at 150-200 yards. I realize others will only tell the good, they won’t say I had a bad day at the range, even though we all know it happens. This is analogous to a friend that plays poker and gambles a lot. He brags when he wins, but won’t say he peep when he doesn’t. One time he came to a BBQ and told all of us he won $1500 the night before. I asked him “what about the weekend before”. He quickly changed the subject. [/QUOTE]
