[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1657666, member: 38048"] It all comes down to one simple thing. Calling the wind. I can shoot 10 shot 5 inch groups at 1000 yards. I have several wind flags to read. Home field advantage. And I personally wouldn't try a 1000 yard shot on a game animal. Guns are great. Bullets are great. I know my yardage great. But I can't see wind at 1000 yards. A 210 vld at 2900 moves over 5 ft in a 10 mph cross wind. If I miss paper I adjust and try again. If you miss the wind call on game it could be a complete miss or a shot to the guts or hind quarter Or worse a hit on another animal beside the one your shooting. I have no I'll feeling about people shooting game as far as they want. I just know I can't do it. Shep [/QUOTE]
