[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 128657, member: 10"] This post was kind of an experiment to prove a point. How many times have we heard this question. The number of different answers you will get will most often be the exact number of different people you ask the question to. Point is, we all have to decide for ourselves what a long range shot is and there is no way to put a specific yardage to it. Now obviously taking big game at 1000 yards is long range in anyones book, from the novice up to the most experienced long range hunter out there. But while some may not feel 500 yards is long range shooting, others feel this is a VERY long way. I think the point to this board is to help everyone on it become a more proficent long range hunter and the limits on yardage must be decided upon by those behind the trigger. All we do here is help educate each other so that we can find out more accurately what Long range means to each of us individually. That whitetail I just took in Idaho at 850 yards was to me a LONG way over across that canyon. The shot was not difficult but a serious poke in my mind. Others on this board, MANY others have taken game much farther away then that and they may feel this is not really long range. Set your own personal limits and practice to extend your range consistantly and proficently and it does not really matter what others feel I suppose is my opinion. Thanks for the replies and very good comments from all. Please continue with your opinions as they are interesting to read the varied opinions on the topic and the best thing is that every one of the opinions are correct for those typing them!!
