[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 5714, member: 25"] Harv, I am very fortunate to have the opportunities to get into this stuff at the real early stages of developement and production. I am not sure how much further this can go, time of flight and wind are the big challenges. Unfortunately living up here we will not get 777Pellets and Shockwaves for a while, both are being shipped in the U.S. and have got to shelves already. Do we really need to shoot an in-line 250-300 yards? That is the big question - but I can tell you from experience that having the ability to shoot long is a very good thing if you need to put a hit animal down or are only getting one long shot at a trophy and will not be able to get closer. Bottom line is that the guy who has prepared for such a shot will get his critter out to these ranges, no doubt in my mind. If he hasn't done a bunch of shooting in wind he should not consider pulling the trigger. Regardless we should try to get closer, but it don't always work out that way and this new stuff is extending my confidence envelope another 50 yards or even more. How does three inches high at 100 and three inches low at 200 sound for easy hunting with an in-line? [/QUOTE]
