I have neverhad the need to shoot300-500yd shots!
Maybe out west alot of hunters do, but I like to stay under 300yds.
I have been to Colorado a few times and have taken Elk and Mulies and all were under 300yds. I can't see anyone trying to shoot anythingat a 1/4 mile and over!
These guys are shooters and not hunters, IMO.
