If you want to try to shoot this far 1000yards at big game you have alot of work ahead of you first your going to have to get a good rifle talk to Kirby allen he could build you a bad a$$ rifle that would do it. Goto www.longrangehunting.com

Ask for fiftydriver (kirby allen) to reply and talk to him about you options on a rifle, also their is a longrange hunting class someone is puting on might want to look into that cause they know their stuff. Now you might not need the KA custom rifle to pull it off it would be a good Idea to get the best equipment if your going to try to pull shots like that offyou need toguarantee you hit the vitals not a easy task at that range.

If youlimiting yourbig game shots to500 yards its still going to take lots of practice but you could pull it of with a quality rifle and good optics like a leopold tactical or lr scope. I would take a 500 yard shot but only under perfect conditions and that dont happen very often when I'm hunting but you can make them theirs just alot of variables when you pass that 300 yard mark I think it was a wise man James B who said dont be scared to use your boots when hunting. GOOD LUCK
