I agree at least 1000 percent. When I shot 500 Meter silhouettes I quickly learned about the forces that act on bullets at long range. When you talk real long range it takes a lot of practice plus unless you have wind flags about every 100 yards along the way, you have no real idea what the wind is 400 yards from where you are. I have watched the expert varmit shooters grouping their guns and sighting in for long range shoots. There on their table they have wind gauges and flags every 50 yards all the way out to the target. I have seen days when the wind at 500 yards was opposite from that of the bench. Air currents, humidity, tempature, elevation and wind all play a part in long range shooting. Thats before you even consider humane error, extreme velocity spread of you loads and anything mechanical that can happen. Last but not least the angle of the shot in unfamilar terrain must be considered as well. There is a hell of a difference in a 300 yard shot and a 600 yard shot. Add this to peoples ability to judge the range and the size of the animal. Well you can see where I am comming from. Most of us should think several times before attempting long range shots. For me 300 yards is long range when shooting at a game animal.
