[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 664165, member: 4"] It seems to me that the original line of this topic was to gather info about 1500+ yard game kills. I believe that we have gotten a bit off topic. I have not taken big game past 1500+ from lack of opportunity mostly. I have spent a number of hours practicing past 2000 yards, I have filmed and watched a 1935 yard big game kill. Of this extreme range kill I can say it was under special circumstances along with the ability to have sighted in on the area intended to be shot on the day prior. I have shot out to distances approaching 3000 yards in practice and can say some of those shots would have x ringed any big game anima, some would not have. I beleive that these extreme range shots are possible under the right conditions etc. It disappoints me to see someone condem a practice that is not possible for them by saying it just flatly is not right for anyone. I remember hearing the same exact statement when I first started long range hunting a day or two ago about 1000 yard shooting and now it is fairly common by serious long range hunters. In parting I just hate to see the gathering of information and expanding of boundries being held back by general opinion about what is and is not possible. What becomes possible is made that way by those doing it. In the end everyone is intitled to their opinion but I still believe in the lead, follow or stand aside version and try not to hold people who want to lead back. [/QUOTE]
