Default RE: We speak of long range in here so.....

I see alot of us are in the thinking that the average Joe cant shoot a deer at 300 yards. It still just amazes me that this is true though. I have to honestly admit that I dont shoot at our 300 yard range as much as I should, however I have taken deer at 280 and 340 yards, and taken a groundhog at 368 yards. I do not think that shooting with a good rangefinder, shooting sticks and the right ballistics info that a 300 yrd shot is difficult. As long as its not super windy, a 300 yard shot to me is challenging, but very very doable. Today I really really wanted to say something smart to these guys, not only are they taking shots that are unethical but they are ruining the hunting for the rest of us that can make those shots.
