RE: 400 yard trophy?
Alot ofgood points. Terrain dictates. When I started hunting I got stuck in an open 200 acre hay field on a round bail. If you couldn't get off a 300 400 yard shot. Might as well go watch the vikes lose. But yes, around there only shots you will get off and very very few misses. So yes have to practice andknow you candrop it or don't shot.In the Marines you shoot at a target open sites 500 yards at a human size target, easly 10 out of 10 times. If you know you can do it. No problem.
Now I hunt back in the woods and my max shot range is 75 yds.
