[QUOTE="sniperjwt, post: 502632, member: 22262"] I think for most people (myself included) its not a matter of consistantly shooting an animal at 600+ yards every time you go out. It is a matter of if i have the oppratunity to harvest an animal at that range will i be prepared. That is why i practice to 1000yds. Have i ever shot an animal that far away. No i have not, but if the situation arrises where i have a chance to then i am confident that i will be able to make the shot. In the normal stand that i sit in during rifle season i can see 500yds to my left 450 in front and 800 to my right. Most shots are inside of 300 but have made shots out to 580 from that stand. If you go by all hunters all over the world and the game they have taken i would say that most likely less than 1 percent is actually harvested past the 600yd mark. Same goes for the military you want to practice as far as your equipment will allow you to although for most operations the shot will be under 600yds. [/QUOTE]
