[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1669796, member: 2736"] I'm not going to preach ethics to anyone just because they can shoot better than me and make a longer shots consistently. I'm the one that has to live with my mistakes so I don't judge. My opinion on this is that I would like to be ready for that long shot even though I never need it. Before I started shooting matches, I though a 400 yard shot on a deer was a long shot. once I learned that with proper equipment and lots of practice, 1200 yards was not only possible but with iron sites doable. As bigngreen stated, I have become a much better shot at the close shots because I understand all of the elements and long rang shoot/hunting has done this. the reason is simple. The longer the shot, the more critical everything becomes. I don't think anyone can tell you what a long shot is, only what it is for them. It is not only the range that increases the difficulty but the size of the target and even the accuracy of the point of impact aimed at. Don't pay attention to what other people say they can do, just try to get proficient at longer ranges and know your limits. There is always someone that can out shoot you. so just compete with your self and you just may surprise your self how good you are and how far you can shoot/hunt. Not preaching, just saying J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
