[QUOTE="DogZilla, post: 266110, member: 16100"] I watched a vid on youtube about some guys shooting the 223 in some cool rifle at 1000 yards, the guy was hitting a 18 x 18 inch target constantly... and putting dents in it... then i watched some guy using a 17rem doing a trash can lid at 800 yards constantly... then.. some guy shooting antelope at 1000 yards dead on with a 25/06 ... hammered that lope to the ground.. it didnt move... this is all pretty cool... but its just not practical for the average joe hunter...and its more about fiddling with extreme equipment than hunting... anyone here ever really hunted ? like take a bow and hit the deep wilderness and called in an elk to within 20 yards and shot it face to face ? tracked a lion untill it tree'd and took it with a bow ? stalked a muley to within 30 yards and launched that arrow right on ...before it ever knew you were there ? althought i love the forum... i just dont see how you can call shooting a deer at 1000 yards... hunting... its just target shooting...period. perhaps im just a traditionalist .... but..i see all kinda fun in shooting prairire rats at 300 yrds...:D i must be messed up...:rolleyes:lightbulb:Dgun) [/QUOTE]
