[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 511362, member: 26477"] Well, if you want to be a proficient long range hunter you have to practice shooting long range targets. Shooting AR steel plate targets are best in my book, but anything you can place out range up to 1000 yards and be able to see where you're hitting from where you're shooting is fine. Just popping a round out at an animal like a chuck once in awhile doesn't build any consistency with your shooting. Learning how to dope wind, shoot up and down terrain, etc takes a lot of practice to build confidence in shooting and killing an animal at long range. It isn't fair to the animal to pop a long range shot at it and risk not killing it with a lethal shot. It takes practice and the best way to practice is to shoot at paper, milk jugs full of water, balloons or steel stationary targets until you become proficient time and time again. [/QUOTE]
