[QUOTE="Augustus, post: 668122, member: 10142"] Sir since you specifically addressed me I think I should inform you that you are not addressing an inexperienced shooter. I am amused at the assumptions made by you and others that anyone that has reservations about shooting living things at ELR must somehow be devoid of skill or equipment. I am in possession of rifles and projectiles that match or exceed those you mentioned. These systems are used almost daily and I have become quite proficient in their use. I also possess a very good rangefinder made by Vectronics. Just this afternoon I made a first Rd hit on a 10 in disk at 1770 yds followed by two more inside the disk. Group measured 8.25 inches center to center. I still choose not to shoot at living things at these distances. It's a big world, if you want to shoot living things at Extreme ranges go ahead I see it as a personal choice. The thread was started discussing a 2980 yd kill, I don't know how far is too far but shooting at game at that distance is past what I am willing to be a part of. As stated before if you want to try it, go for it. [/QUOTE]
