[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 1669634, member: 67552"] Thanks all. I didn't mean for this to become an ethics/moral quiz. I assumed the nature of the site had us all open to the idea, our own idea of "Long Range" hunting. I am just curious how many people are actually taking shots, really past 600 yards. It is tough to find ranges in a lot of the country that you can shoot past 600 and even with that, to practice from 600 to 1000 is tough. Ballistic charts are a good start, but at those distances there is simply no substitute for real practice. Variations in velocity and atmosphere can have very drastic effect on point of aimpact, as well as the human element of calculating wind speed and the trigger control. While it sounds like many of us practice to extend our capabilities to those great distances, there are actually not that many people taking game past 500 yards. [/QUOTE]
