[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2112372, member: 103947"] That's 100% true. TV programming where 800-1200 yard shots on big game animals doesn't help but we're all adults and should know our own personal limitations. Some don't and even the ones that do shoot regularly at those distances still don't account for conditions where those shots are taken. An 800-1000 yard shot on a deer is not quite the same as one on a paper or steel target. You get a do over on paper or steel. While I've taken those shots at 1000 on deer, the conditions are almost dead calm and so is the animal or I won't shoot. It's just not worth. I don't need a reason for my confidence to tank. Keep those at the range. [/QUOTE]
