[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 27593, member: 34"] Tod "It really takes alot of the human element out of it." ?????? First----This is a "Longrange hunting" forum. Second---Your comment about "no talent" and taking the "human element" out of it has no place here. To explain further. The talent was in preperation of the hunt long before that trigger was pulled. It takes years to understand and apply the longrange hunting ideas of killing game. Many of us have hunted this way for years and understand how it's done. We also have spent large sums of money to stay up with the sport and can kill the game very cleanly at ranges people think and argue,is impossible. We all have those factory, pencil thin barrel guns laying around and know what the differance is of accuracy potential between a good custom setup. We carry those factory jobs when we want to take a walk and get some exercise and know that the range will probably not be over 300 yards, sometimes it is a tad further though. As per the girl not knowing the safety---She was instructed how to keep the cross hair on the animal, don't bump the bench or move the rifle, how to squeeze the trigger properly, don't take her eye out of the scope in case the animal ran at all and many more items before she ever was allowed near that rifle. The good thing about it was, the safety was "on". These fellows are making a video to show and help other longrange hunters in the "art" of LR hunting. I feel they have done that and anyone who has not seen the video should if they are an interested LR hunter in the making. If you keep watching this forum, you will see many excellent comments concerning the Longrange way and equipment to use. This is the way most of us hunt and enjoy and it's NOT as easy as one may think. The ballistic preperation alone is something most people don't even think about who have never done it. Knowing your equipment at the different ranges is a must and a good understanding of bullet potential is extremely important. For most of us who started with those factory pencil thin barrels and killed many head of game with them when the shots were close, find that those days were easier then the longrange way. It's MUCH harder placing a bullet on game from 750 to 2000 yards then it is at 100 to 300 with a factory rifle. Been there done that.
