[QUOTE="gspman, post: 890240, member: 26636"] I have no problem with LRH as long as the proper practice has been utilized. I practice year round at 600 yds at home and up to 900 yds up north where my cabin is. (Big cranberry marsh, as long as its frozen) I have made some spectacular shots on deer that now in my old age I consider very, very lucky. And really in the scope of things were prolly bad decisions, even though I made quick kills. This past season, I participated in the 2nd elk hunt of my life and killed my 1st bull. He and 6 cows broke the ridge in front of me and headed downhill from there. I dropped to my belly, threw the pack under the gun, waited for the bull to pass a pre-ranged landmark, and cut loose. The .280 barked 3 times, I had 3 hits in the lungs at 427yds and a dead bull on the ground 40yds later. It was all automatic, That my friends was not me just blazing away, it was calculated and precise. Practice made that possible, even though 427yds is not really that far. And at the end of the day I had a huge smile on my face. [/QUOTE]
