[QUOTE="David Urasky, post: 2022664, member: 108550"] People who know that I shoot competitively at 1000 yards commonly ask me what the longest shot I've taken for an elk. My honest reply is under 100 yards, yes with a rifle. My thought is if I want to shoot long range, I shoot paper. That way if I miss call the wind, no problem. Make a correction and shoot again. On a critter, if I miss call the wind it could be a wounded animal that get's away. Hunting is just that, hunt a way to get close to the animal. Shooting at long range is reserved for paper. I have never lost a big game animal and I want it to stay that way. If you can make that cold bore shot at 800+ yards every time into a 12" circle, you need to come and shoot at one of my 1k matches. With sighters and knowing your hits on every shot and having 8 wind flags you should be able to hold it inside 8". Our 10 ring is 10.5" at 1000 yards with the X being 5". With all the wind and shot placement information you get, you should be shooting world class scores. [/QUOTE]
