[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1870241, member: 31264"] I am not on the same page as some here. As I recall, Len started this forum because long range hunting was frowned on at other sites because long range shots were not generally considered ethical. With better rifles, better loads, better equipment, better knowledge, and most of all better shooters, it has become quite realistic to take longer shots with confidence. However, there are no rules or guidelines for this forum that I know of that insist that all members only focus on long range. Hunting is hunting - whether that is 10 yards or 1000. I'd like to think that everyone here can benefit from any discussion about rifles at any range and that the long range aspects are inclusive not exclusive. No competent long range shooter that I know would back up 1000 yards from a 50 point buck encountered at 50 yards for the sake of avoiding a close range shot. My thanks to Len Backus for making it possible to include the aspects of long range hunting in our discussions. And also my thanks to all those members who welcome all discussions regardless of range. We all benefit from sharing with each other. [/QUOTE]
