[QUOTE="Mr. Magoo, post: 2658184, member: 124360"] [SIZE=16px]I enjoy pistol hunting as well. My longest pistol elk kill was years ago @110 yards with a 10" contender in 44 mag and a 2x optic. That was the first time I saw how quickly a .44 can bring an elk down with a pure lung shot.[/SIZE] I mostly never kept track of big game yardages when I was younger since we didnt have rangefinders back then, but everything with a rifle was under 350 since past that was too hard for me to judge. Dad was always a much better long range offhand shot than I. I've been steadily improving my long range game since getting back into big game hunting, but alas, I didnt need those skills this year since my elk kill was less than 80 yards (didn't bother ranging). The closer the better for me, I enjoy the stalk. That was one of the most enjoyable hunts I've had since I lost my dad/ hunting buddy. [/QUOTE]
