[QUOTE="Guest, post: 52510"] Denny, with regard to your concern about "spoiling our sport"..... I don't consider a hunter who does what your father-in-law did to be a long range hunter. Just a careless hunter. I have said in a previous post. (To steal and modify a phrase from forest gump) Long range is as long range does! I consider my self a long range hunter and I shoot within 500 yards......and thats with virtually no wind.....300 with wind. I am confident I can get a clean kill at that range. Most hunter crap there pants past 200. DC and others can hit at ranges way beyond that. My theory.......what I can hit on paper is a lot farther than what I can hit in the field. I'll practice out way past my hunting ranges so when I shoot at 400 there is no question. I do this with my bow, rifle, shotgun, whatever. That is what works for me. I wish I lived near a 1000 yard range so I could practice those extreme ranges. Anyway.....don't let your father in law get you down......the woods and fields are full of people who "shoot first and ask questions later". Biggest a-hole hunter line.... "hold 1 inch over for every hundred yards" ....i'm sure that works great with those 30-30 lever actions! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
