[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2837377, member: 72440"] Interesting, well when I first moved to Colorado there were quite a few ranges where you could zero at 400 yards, not that way anymore, with the better optics bullets, and gear in general, there is no reason for hunters to not be a good marksman and a proficient hunter. But as you have stated the range time, when I set up a rifle, I have to trust that my gear if I do my part will harvest the animal. That means my rifle scope ammo combination must have been dialed in, my drops verified to hit consistently what I feel is my range limitation. The maximum range I currently shoot at only is 300 yards, performing a ladder test, verifying drops, to 300 yards, puts me at a maximum of 600 yards. If I could spend some time at a 1000 yards then I might consider longer range shots conditions and ammo permitting. Does it take time yes, but it is fun. [/QUOTE]
