[QUOTE="Deleted member 120585, post: 2342799"] That might be a difficult question for older guys -I know it is for me. I know that it is somewhere between 3 and 870 yards. Longest shot on an elk was at 870 yards (one-shot kill with STW 160Gr BTHP back in the mid '80's). Closest shot on an elk was also successful, at about 3 yards in a snow storm (early 60's on our old ranch property in Lincoln Montana (with the 250 Savage if I remember right)). I have no idea what the average is, but many shots have been under 100 yards, especially in earlier times. And many shots were over 500 -especially in the last 40 years. As time progressed, so did the rifles, the bullets, and the number of shots I would pass up. -Best guess at an average is 200 yards. [/QUOTE]
