[QUOTE="snox801, post: 1512864, member: 54383"] I believe what Alex is saying has lots of truth when it comes to shows. Living in Michigan with the average shot less than 100 yards. And the highest concentration of hunters who say it was in last year and never pull the trigger before season. I can’t tell you how many times guys have said they could make the shots on tv if they had a 338. Perfect example is last year after my Texas hunt i had a young guy contact me about the hunt. I gave him the details and he asked how he could get a .375 AM I told him cut a big check and wait 3 years. He said oh man the money is easy but I don’t have that time. I am going hunting out west this winter and I’m gonna shoot one over 1000 yards. I laughed a bit. Then he told me he is really into the long range shows. So after an afternoon with different calibers and ranges he decide that was a bad idea. He had a hard time hitting vitals at 300 yards. So he now has a 6.5 creed nice scope and is practicing. It’s just hard to see everyone in my state now thinking it’s ok to launch the old 30-06 or 300 win at deer at 500 yards using strelok and the fps off the box of ammo. [/QUOTE]
