[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 2022581, member: 26477"] My longest shot on a game animal was 1237 yards on an elk with my 300RUM. I spent over 2 hours waiting for the elk to get into a unimpeded clearing for the shot. I had practiced shooting hundreds of rounds out to 1400 yards and felt comfortable making the shot, as long as I didn't have any limbs or objects in the path of my bullet. This kill was so difficult and hard to get to and retrieve, I decided I would never shoot any game animal that far again, unless I saw a road beneath it as we couldn't get our horses close to it. The second longest elk I shot was a little over 800 yards and another at 742 yards. The other 23 elk I have taken were between 8 and 325 yards. I'm not going to tell you about the biggest bull elk I have ever seen in my life while hunting. Why? Because I still cry every time I think about missing him with my arrow at 17 yards. Enough said!
