[QUOTE="Bdubose, post: 1760661, member: 104938"] I think that’s the beauty of this group - it PUSHES you to improve. 3 years ago my average shot on deer was inside 100 yards and I had strained to a shoot 300 yard paper target only once in my life! I’ve always considered myself an ethical hunter yet I took a 400 yard shot on an elk years ago and got lucky though it was clearly beyond my capabilities. Today a 600 yard shot with the same rifle is a chip shot! I think most guys on this forum who put in the time developing a consistent load for their weapon tend to the more be more ethical in their shot choices than the one box per year guys because we have a greater understanding of both the limits and capabilities of the weapon/bullet combination. That is not to say I was an unethical hunter for 50+ years - just uneducated. [/QUOTE]
