[QUOTE="zeeman, post: 1027262, member: 14754"] This is just an opinion so please only consider it that. I have been in the LR game since the late 1980's here in Pa and Montana and Wyoming. Long range is mostly technology . We have had all the old equipment and now have mostly cutting edge equipment that exists today. We have many LR deer ,elk and bear and antelope kills at extended ranges (1200+) You are right feeling the thrill is gone when you are completely dialed into the LR game. It is a complete triumph of technology over the instincts of the wild game. We have highly capable rifles, lasers, computers , advanced optics and all sorts of other advantages. We have had many unskilled hunters take game cleanly at extended range using our guidance and equipment with no clue how it was accomplished. Our technology and practice shooting at extended ranges makes one very efficient even to an amateur shooter using our guidance. Also I would say that in the last 5 years there has been a huge jump in technology that has opened up the LR game to many more shooters. The learning curve is shorter than ever and now many hunters take shots that are way beyond their personal skill level. And now drones??? Although I love all kinds of big game hunting..... Bow hunting elk in September in the Bighorns is what hunting to me is all about!!!!!! And I think Theodore Roosevelt may agree! [/QUOTE]
