[QUOTE="Steve in Mi, post: 882, member: 76"] Great post Darryl, You hit the nail on the head when you said most dont know what their rifles are capable of. I hate hearing "My 30-30 is a brush gun and good to 100 yards max" It really amazes me when you get talking and respond with a shot at 350+ yards they are either offend or they think you are full of it. These are the same people that have never used a drop chart or a range finder so when they shoot they really have no idea of the distance of the shot. I helped my father-in -law out he bought a new 7mag rifle to going out west on a pronghorn shoot. He was thinking that 300 yards was max distance he could shoot his rifle. after he shot over a 100 rounds during the next month he had a totally different opinion of longe range shot. He also dicovered how tough it is to shoot at a object at long distances, without knowing the range. He is now a very good shoot. He did get a shot on one at slightly over 400 and brought home a nice buck. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [ 12-15-2001: Message edited by: Steve in Mi ] [/QUOTE]
