[QUOTE="John Klingenberg, post: 1657772, member: 107749"] I've been hunting a heck of a long time, and shooting off a bench even longer. I've guided hunts and worked at ranges. 99% of people do not put in enough time to get good enough at long range shooting let alone hunting. On game animals the hunt is so much more rewarding, to me, when you match whits with an animal on it's own terrain. Any fool can sling a bullet and hope he calculated right. A hunter tests himself in the other skills of hunting, the shot is the culmination of winning with the other skills. There are guys on here who regularly shoot at a mile and hit, there are guys that shoot tiny ragged holes at crazy distances. The thing is they dont do it every single time they push up to the bench. That would be boring and really...impossible. if I was guiding and my client was David Tubb and he told me he planned to shoot an elk at 800 yards I'd tell him to find another guide. Hunting and shooting are two different things to me. [/QUOTE]
