[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 2834703, member: 64108"] The number of unskilled "hunters" is much higher around Los Angeles than anywhere I have seen. Prior to deer season the public ranges are packed with guys trying to sight in scopes and they can't even get on paper at 100 yards having burned thru a box of ammo and most don't know how to zero the scope. Most modern cartridges if sighted in at 200 yards will be ~6" low at 300 yards, ~20" low at 400, and ~36" low at 500 yards you will definitely be minute of elk but nobody puts the time in to learn this. Often heard is the "I took a shot at it but I missed" because they had no idea what to do past ~150 yards. I help as much as I can and direct people to this sight or youtube "how to" videos but for my own safety I rarely hunt on the weekends. [/QUOTE]
