[QUOTE="mitch260, post: 1257678, member: 53720"] Not sure what you are referring too since there are targets out to 3400 yards, which last I checked is just under 2 miles. That's probably why they call it The King of 2 Miles. There aren't any caliber restrictions, you can use what ever you want if you think you can use effectively. Just because one owns an "Edge" doesn't mean they will be competitive. Its a competition, and the nature of competition is for the competitor to know himself and his equipment. So either you don't know your equipment very well, or you know it well enough to make the decision no to compete. That is for you to make the call, not the forum guys. These public boards are not guaranteed true information. And just because you ASSumed that a round had to be supersonic to two miles to even be considered, does not make that fact. In reality, if properly designed and stabilized, a projectile can maintain high degrees of precision through the transition from supersonic to subsonic flight. I don't understand why any of this upsets you. Not showing up to a match is your own choice. And in fact it is a 2 mile competition. How many matches of any discipline do you know of that are won with perfect scores? At 2 miles the target is .75 MOA tall, and 1 MOA wide, and you will likely have less than 5 minutes to hit it with a maximum of 5 shots, and that is only if you earn the chance to shoot at it.
