[QUOTE="elktaker, post: 1090499, member: 86786"] I practice on a 10 inch gong and try to practice in similar environments to what I will be hunting in. If I can't routinely hit it on the first cold bore shot its too far. 10" would be small for an elk kill zone (about 16" is probably the real kill zone) but human error in aiming should be added bringing me down to 10" Luckily, I live 30 minutes from where I elk/deer hunt, so praticing on the forest is easy. My longest kill on an elk has been 427 yards. My ranger finder is a Leupold 800i and normally I can only get ranges to 500 yards in the field so that limits me to 500 right off the bat. Add a windy day in the mountains and it easily limits me to 300 yards with multiple wind direction across a valley. [/QUOTE]
