[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 520151, member: 6452"] No matter what your predetermined "long range" is there is tons of info here that can help you just become a better shot in general. My personal upper limit is 600 yards with standard hunting cartridges. Some here would consider that short to medium range. I don't want an extreme rifle that is difficult or expensive to shoot and too cumbersome to haul 5-10 miles on your back. It's always good to practice out further than you intend to shoot an animal just in case you have to. I don't believe in having to shoot an animal just because of it's size, etc but if you flub a shot at closer range and have to finish it off before it crosses the next ridge it's nice to know you have practiced at extended ranges. Welcome to the madness. [/QUOTE]
