[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1554374, member: 68875"] I shoot about 1500-2000 rounds a year from 545 to 1700+ yards. Probably 75% of those are between 800-1300 yards over the last 4+ years. Before that, probably 500-750 per year between 350-1200 yards. On big game, the longest shot I have personally taken is 662 yards, followed by 488 yards. Everything else has been under 200 for the most part. On coyotes, I have made 1st round hits as far as 1327 & two @ 1365. I will shoot at a coyote as far as 1700 if I get the chance. So far, that hasn't happened. But, environmental conditions dictate how far I feel comfortable shooting at big game. If bad conditions exist, I just don't take the shot. Even if I am 95% sure I can make it. Even with 9-10k shots over 500 yards on targets, a 600 yard shot is not a gimme in my opinion when poor conditions exist. Mainly wind. Which is usually present during a hunt. You are never "done" practicing for long range. [/QUOTE]
