[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 187794, member: 2736"] Faina I consider long range with a pistol or a rifle any shot that requires a change in elevation or windage from the basic zero. Zero's can be at any distance (50yrds +) Even at a 1000yrds you may have a zero but still have to adjust for conditions (temp,elevation, humidity,wind,ETC). The next time you go out to shoot try this ! Cold bore (first shot) pick a target/object well past your rifle/pistol zero. Study,range,read the wind and decide how to make the ONE SHOT KILL Use all the tools that will be available to you while hunting to make the shot. Then use all of your shooting skills to make the best shot possible. Set your limmits on impact dia based on the game size and toughness. If you dont do well ,learn from the shot. Now you can make more shots to find out what went wrong. Once you become proficient at this distance then move futher out and practice,practice,practice. Good luck and good Hunting J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
