[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2659705, member: 97050"] Well, the survey is not really data driven. Idk what the OP was looking for, but I don’t think it was anything super scientific. Think of the data this way. This is a website. Anyone of about any half developed country can access it and do this poll. The majority here in the US. If we interpolate the data and ignore the minority votes, and limit the data to only the US (for example purposes only), then we have to look at the US geography. With the US in mind let’s split it between West and East. The reality is the eastern US isn’t super conducive as a whole (terrain) to long range shooting. Like 600y and beyond. Yet we have plenty of members who live and hunt there…. Then if you look out west, there are generally more hunting area more conducive to long range hunting, but then there are areas and states that are questionable in regards to hunting access in general. Like the west coast from the Mexican border to Canada. Texas is mostly privatized land. Things like that. Rifle tags out west for non-residents are not “easy” to get anymore. California I always hated hunting, as I always seen Mexican dudes in groups of up to 10 people screaming and yelling, throwing rocks to drive deer, the relevance is they are bush hunting under 350y, and I’ve never seen that in any other state in a high alpine environment. All to say, when you consider this non scientific dissection, the numbers make sense to the imagination that the majority of peoples shots (on average) are under 350y when rifle hunting. To have a larger number (in the US) you’d have to (at least) limit a survey to western states with a half decent management of game. In my mind, is because some of those states are public lands with success rates sub 15% year to year. It is a niche hunting crowd, and depending where you live can be a limiting factor alone.
