[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2586857, member: 68875"] Here is my take, and ONLY MY TAKE. No offence to anyone. For me, I would rather take the shot on the rock at 700. If the 540 shot seemed easy, then take the harder shot and learn from your mistakes. You gain experience by actually experiencing. Learning those harder shots make you a better shooter. Push your limits. Misses=knowledge too. When we go shoot for fun, 99% of the time, our first shots of the day are 1k+. That is at least 1-2 times a month. When you can make a cold bore, cold [I][B]SHOOTER[/B][/I] 1st round hit on an 8" steel at 1100, that is a huge confidence builder, and really sets the tone of the day. Limiting your attempts at longer distances on inanimate objects, even in poor conditions, only limits your gain in knowledge and experience. I love shooting on windy days at steel and rocks. When you have to hold 4.5 MIL of wind and dial 11.4 MIL at 1400, and you get to watch that vapor trail curl and drop in like a slice on a golf ball, then hear the distant "whack", it is a great feeling.
