[QUOTE="Doug Herold, post: 1607349, member: 102658"] I watched an episode on Gunwerks where Aaron Davidson had a desert bighorn at 900 yds. The wind conditions weren’t all that harsh, but he sneaked to 600 yds because the wind made the shot less confident. I once missed a wolf at 350 yds because I had to shoot standing and had to thead the bullet through some tall reeds growing at 250 yds. I took a yearling doe this past year at 808 in near perfect wind conditions. I set my wind dope far enough forward so that I would either miss her or take out the neck and front shoulders. I once read a post that stated, “anything is long range which requires an adjustment beyond your zero” IMO, the term “Long Range” is defined by the hunting conditions, the fire arm being used, the body position required for the shot, and shooter history of being able to consistently make ethical shots at the known longer distance.
