[QUOTE="Indyal, post: 1760462, member: 111563"] I am new to long(er) range hunting as I finally found a range to practice longer shots. My current rifle shoots sub 0.5 moa off the bench. What I discovered was my accuracy was good out to about 540 yards but I could not judge the wind enough at 720 yds to keep it under 1 moa(too much horizontal spread). I have taken 7 elk with a rifle. All were in situations where I only had a few seconds to make the shot; 5 were taken standing. The hunting shows that feature long range appear to have the luxury of time to set up their shot, check the wind, and consult their spotter. I also think they do a disservice as they seem to emphasize the equipment and not the skill. [/QUOTE]
