[QUOTE="judgebill, post: 1944316, member: 101611"] I recently read an article about a 4-mile shot which, after 68 tries, hit the target. That doesn't mean this guy and his equipment could be called a 4-mile shooting system. Let's be realistic...shooting at a steel plate at 1000. yards, and hitting it consistently, takes skill and experience. hitting a live target at that range begins to introduce the element of luck. Extend the range and you need more skill, experience and certainly, if a live target, more luck. I've hunted all my life (now 83) and never shot at any thing beyond around 250 yards. All one-shot kills (Africa, Alaska, North America). Now enjoying shooting at targets and trying to extend my range. It's fun and challenging. But wouldn't seriously consider shooting a live animal as far as I would like to shoot a sitting target. [/QUOTE]
